Eclipse supports a number of file encodings. By default these are not passed on to Dimensions CM. If content encoding support when adding files to the repository is required, edit the file plugin.properties in the following directory:
<Dimensions_Install>\Integrations\RichEclipse3.x\eclipse\plugins\
com.serena.eclipse.dimensions.team.core_14.2.0.0
By adding the following line to the file:
use_content_encoding=true
With this set, the Eclipse Content Encoding set on the Eclipse resource will be passed onto Dimensions CM. If Eclipse content encoding is changed between revisions or on fetching files to a clean workspace, it must be changed in the Eclipse File, Folder or Workspace properties to allow Eclipse to recognize and display files correctly.
