Re: [Rails-devel] [Rails-commits] .settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs .settings/org.eclipse.core.runtime.prefs data/18EU

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

For 18EU, I have changed the remaining two 'entities' in company names to
UTF-8-encoded characters. I did this on Stefan's suggestion, but somewhat
reluctantly, as entities (like Ö) are safer (encoding-independent low
ASCII) than the actual characters (Ö in this case).  But such decimal or
hexadecimal entities are badly readable.

I also have set the Eclipse text file encoding setting to UTF-8.  On my
Windows 7 PC, it was previously set to Cp1252, which caused problems in
JUnit testing: the 'standard' report files were not parsed as an UTF-8 file
but as Windows-encoded files.

This setting made Eclipse to update my version of file
.settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs  by adding the encoding setting.
The repo already contained an empty version of this file, and so I have
pushed this setting now to the central repo.
I have also added file .settings/org.eclipse.core.runtime.prefs, which sets
the line separator to newline only.

I'm not sure, though, if it is necessary (or even useful) to put such
Eclipse-specific encoding standards into the repository.

Here we go, I meant: Ö.
