TFS/Eclipse/Selenium: When I import project from T

Question

I have a project that is exported to TFS using Eclipse TFS plug-in when I re import the the project from TFS to eclipse into another machine it will not take the UFT8 encoding.

Note: My eclipse is configured to have UFT8 encoding from the text editor

Answer 1

You can follow below steps to set the default file encoding in Eclipse:

• Window > Preferences > General > Content Types, set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all content types.
• Window > Preferences > General > Workspace, set "Text file encoding" to "Other : UTF-8".
• You can also set the default encoding in eclipse.ini: Open eclipse.ini in your eclipse home directory --> put the line -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 at the end of the file --> Save

Then import the project again.

For the projects which already imported, you can right click the Project --> Properties and select Resource on the left side menu. You can now change the Text-file encoding to whatever you wish.

Before you import your project from TFS to eciplse, you have to run one program using UF8 encoding after that you can import your project from TFS
