Are you developing on Windows? (ah, you are)

If so, could you check how you launch NetBeans? My netbeans.conf file
contains this on the netbeans_default_options line:

-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Also, if you're using Maven with NetBeans, UTF-8 has to be set there as
well. My projects contain the following in pom.xml:

<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<!-- more stuff -->
</properties>

If you have cygwin installed on Windows, you can use the following:

file -bi [filename]

will tell you the encoding and mime-type.

iconv will help you convert from us-ascii to UTF-8. The syntax is:

iconv -f [from-encoding] -t [to-encoding] [input-file] > output-file

I suspect there are native Windows tools to do this, but I'd have to
wander about and find them.

Notepad will tell you when you open a file what encoding the file is.
You could then do a "save as" and select the correct encoding.

Sadly, NetBeans does not have a plugin to do this.

. . . just my two cents
