Hello I'm using
Apache Tomcat 5.5.23 with
JDK1.5 on
WinNT5.1 SP2
using text editors: jEdit, Eclipse/3.2.1, TextPad/4

After editing ROOT/index.jsp,
I get non ASCII characters prepended to the file's contents, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

And it shows up on tomcat's homepage.

Some stupid PC-file type saving convention,
although i'm surprised
jEdit does it.
Both editors have their code pages set
to UTF-8, and TextPad is set
to save files as UNIX files not
DOS files. Eclipse is no help, since
it won't let me edit index.jsp,
without making it first part of an Eclipse project
filetree.

Any suggestions on how to remove these
unseemly characters?
