NetBeans 7.1.2 doesn't like '€' (euro) char

[DarkRadeon]

Nretbeans 7.1.* seems to not like the '€' (euro) char.

After writing that char into a String, a comment etc.. onto a .java, a .jsp or whatever when I re-open the file the '€' disappear and at its place there are '?' (question-mark).

This issue appears on Windows, Linux (ubuntu and fedora tested) and Mac Os X clients, both on utf-8 and latin1 (iso-8859-1) encoding.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hello,

I don't think that the Euro sign is in the iso-8859-1. According to this site:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1, the Euro sign did not exist when this encoding was decided. The Euro was added with ISO_8859-15. Sorry this link is in french, it is not so clearly explained in the corresponding
"en" page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1.
I don't know if it will be acceptable for you to change your encoding, because there may be problems rewriting all your sources! ([EDIT] I mean converting them)

For a JSP file, I suggest you could use this entity, so all browsers will display it correctly: €

Concerning UTF-8, I don't understand, because I did not have the problem. I tested it in my config, Ubuntu / UTF-8. I stopped NetBeans completely, relaunched it and my € was still there. I compiled and displayed this sign ok in a JFrame (see my attachment).

Hope this helps.
