Non-ASCII characters in editor.

[DiRaven]

Hello everyone.

Basically the problem is Netbeans does allow to input and shows non-ASCII characters. But when you save the file and then reopen it - you will end up with ??? instead of all non-ASCII chars. How do I fix this?

I'm working on the implementation of the module, that implements support of the new language. I have implemented and attached ANTLR both lexer and parser.

I'm providing my tool as an installer. So I need (somehow?) to make it working with different codepages properly. Or at least with the UTF-8 only, if previous thing is not possible. So it should read and write files in UTF-8 instead of the native encoding of the OS tool was run on.

I need these non-ASCII symbols mainly for comments and string_literal's if this in any help.

Thanks for your answer in advance. Keep in mind that I'm not yet a professional java / NB IDE developer, so the answer like "reimplement org.XX.XX.XXX module and be happy" probably will not help much. Still I appreciate any advice you may have.

Regards,
DiRave.

Additionally, I've tried to edit XML file within the same instance of the IDE. That one is saved properly... So it should be possible to fix the incorrect behavior somehow.

May be it's possible to:
1. Force global encoding to be utf-8 for the installation built with my modules set?
2. Force default encoding for my custom file type?

Still need an answer... any ideas, please?
