To be honest, I use to run recode on check-out / check-in to ensure checked-in versions are consistent with "standard" and checked-out ones are conforming to my local environment. This way my editor is doing the right thing. (And I save some brain work for figuring out what project is using what encoding as of now. Just an aside: my world is not maven-only, and some projects won't change encoding just to get in sync with some tool) Thus I'm still with "force people stating encoding explicitly and don't twiddle around with default settings that won't solve the problem in the first place". > > > Benjamin > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Rainer Pruy Geschäftsführer Acrys Consult GmbH & Co.
