Editing property files is pain in case one would like to have property files in editor in UTF-8 or different encoding over ISO-8859-1 with escaping. Precisely one would like to have different encoding in development (when editing) and when project is packaged/deployed on server. Current behaviour prevents me from using netbeans for localization purpose. Concurrent IDEs have choices Eclipse has Propeditor and IDEA has bundled setting to use native over project set encoding. I think this issue is related to #75906: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75906 Cheers Ales
