after saving a project on linux os the javadoc and the source code that contain special character like 'é', 'à', 'è', etc... dont appear right, i have the same problem when migrating from windows to linux, im using JDK 6.0 on both systems, netbeans 5.5 on both system too, i'm a frech coder and im using a lot of 'é' !!!
This is likely to be caused by the default character encoding on each system. Could you please try to reproduce this problem with just the notepad application. Try running 'java -jar <jdk-home>/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar' and create and save a file with the problematic characters. Then switch to the other OS and run the notepad application the same way and load the file created in the other OS. If this exhibits the problem then your both OSes are using different character encodings. As a workaround I would recommend using the same character encoding on both system (preferrably UTF-8). There are some issues filed for Netbeans to support different character encodings and for java this should be UTF-8. I can't remember the IZ# from top of my head.
Yes, this should be solved in terms of per-project encoding - issue 42638. Marking as dup. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 42638 ***
