Hello,

I noticed the l10n tooling generates *.properties files using the encoding specified in Preferences > General > Workspace > Text file encoding.

For instance, when setting this value to UTF-8, all generated files will be in UTF-8 : not only source code, but also the properties files.

This behaviour persist even when specifically associating Java Properties Files with the desired ISO-8859-1 encoding.

As already noticed on the forum efxclipse, it would be better if these file were always encoded in ISO-8859-1, conforming to the specs of the format.

Regards,
