Roland,
Sorry to muddy the waters. It would be really nice if we could assume
UTF-8
for everything.
Would be nice. The question is how well does it integrate with our IDEs.
There is no point using UTF-8 for .java files if it breaks every second day.
Java files can not specify their encoding inline (contrary to XML for
instance), so the encoding in use must be stored in some other meta-data
place. The Eclipse .project file provides such a place, but are
currently not in SVN for all projects. But I know that Roland prefers
Emacs (of which I know nothing). Then there is diff/patch whose
behvaiour probably depends on environment variables. If we don't want to
make development a hell, then please let's use the least common
denominator.
