Yuval, Notes are inline (I hope). This is quickly becoming a NetBeans question.

If you're working with an existing project, you may have to change the encoding on that project as well. Go to the Properties panel by right-mouse clicking on the project, and selecting Properties (should be at the bottom, at least it is on NetBeans 8.1). On the Sources panel at the bottom, make sure that the encoding is UTF-8. Note that for existing projects you will probably have to change this. Also note that for existing files, you'll probably have to do the following: 1. Delete your Hebrew 2. Outside of NetBeans change that file to UTF-8 3. Open in NetBeans 4. Add the Hebrew I know, it's messy, but again NetBeans does not have a plugin to do this internally. > >> >> Also, if you're using Maven with NetBeans, UTF-8 has to be set there as >> well.

I don't know anything about gulp and how it handles UTF-8 on a Windows platform. I did try my experiment with a standard (ant build) NetBeans project and used the same method to run it. I'm using NetBeans 8.1 with the latest update on Windows 7 64 bit. I'm using JRE 1.8.0_74.

Any file that contains non-ascii characters. It should (hopefully) show something like the following: text/html; charset=utf-8 This is for index.jsp after I translated Hello World to Hebrew and pasted it in. I also did a servlet, and here's what I got: text/html; charset=utf-8 (since I have HTML in my servlet - urp) > > >> >> will tell you the encoding and mime-type. >> >> iconv will help you convert from us-ascii to UTF-8.

See previous post for fixing existing files. You may have to re-enter non-ascii characters. > Will all new files that are created now be in UTF-8 at least? Because I > just created a new servlet for testing purposes (after the > -J-Dfile.encoding property was added) and hebrew urls still aren't found. > New files will be created and shown as us-ascii (at least on my system). However, as soon as you add non-ascii text and save the file, it should be saved as UTF-8. Make sure that any output that you're generating has the encoding set to UTF-8. Also, make sure your connector is set to UTF-8 with: URIEncoding="UTF-8" This gets output with UTF-8. In other words, if I paste the Google translate to Hebrew output for "Hello World" into either a servlet or JSP page, I see the Hebrew output displayed in my browser. Unfortunately, when I tried a URL in web.xml, this did not work. The browser sent an encoded string. I tried firefox with the charset plugin, but the tamper plugin still showed an encoded (not UTF-8) URL being sent. Using the encoded string in web.xml as a URL pattern did not work. Obviously I am a bit of a neophyte when it comes to seriously encoding a web application for UTF-8, although I can get output to work. I'll try to play with this later and see if I have any ideas. > >> >> 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 >> > > Thanks. > > >> /mde/ . . . just my two cents /mde/
