You can set a default encoding-set whenever you run eclipse.exe.

  1. Open eclipse.ini in your eclipse home directory Or STS.ini in case of STS(Spring Tool Suite)
  2. put the line below at the end of the file

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Solution 4 - Eclipse

Just right click the Project -- Properties and select Resource on the left side menu.

You can now change the Text-file encoding to whatever you wish.

Solution 5 - Eclipse

I tried all settings mentioned in this post to build my project successfully however that didn't work for me. At last I was able to build my project successfully with mvn -DargLine=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 clean insall command.

Solution 6 - Eclipse

You can set an explicit Java default character encoding operating system-wide by setting the environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS with the value -Dfile.encoding="UTF-8". Next time you start Eclipse, it should adhere to UTF-8 as the default character set.

See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/envvars002.html
