How to change default encoding in NetBeans 8.0
encoding, netbeans
Solution
Solution given by Danny
Navigate to `<Netbeans installation directory>/etc` and open the `netbeans.conf` file.
Add `-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8` at the end of the line that starts with `netbeans_default_options` (make sure to include the leading space).
Restart Netbeans and it should be in UTF-8
To verify go to `help -> about` and check System: `Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; UTF-8; nl_NL (nb)`
Problem
I'm wondering if I can change default encoding in NetBeans 8.0... I searched a lot but I haven't find a way how to change the encoding in this version of NetBeans. I have this tag in my html document: `<meta charset="utf-8">` BUT! As you can see on attached image, NetBeans notice is warning me about an encoding problem. Internal encoding declaration "utf-8" disagrees with the actual encoding of the document ("windows-1250"). I created index.html by "new file" function in NetBeans. There is UTF-8 encoding in project properties, so I think it should be UTF-8. I really don't know where that 'windows-1250' came from!! Where I can find some option to change default encoding or even current file encoding in NetBeans 8.0?
