Eclipse encoding conversion

Question

Does anyone know of any eclipe plugin that lets you easily change and use file encodings? I sometimes need to edit template files to do small tweaks, but the files are sometimes ISO, sometimes UTF8, sometimes others, so using eclipse for this leads to disaster :)

Answer 1

Here you can download java classes to create your own plugin.

Answer 2

This should be in the Properties of each file.

Under the "Info" header, there is a "Text File encoding" group. You can change the selection to "Other", and choose the desired encoding from there.
