title: How to change encoding of EMF model instances from ASCII to UTF-8 in Eclipse?
body: <p>I am on working most of the time on Mac. I have changed the "Text file encoding" of my Eclipse instance from "Properties->Workspace" to UTF-8. But still, when I create EMF model instances (be it dynamic or from registered examples), the created *.xmi-files have always "ASCII" as their encoding. When I try to share these project containing the models, instances etc. over SVN, this causes some problems if I work with these later on a Windows machine. It is probably a Windows problem regarding the SVN. The exact error code can a later post here. </p>
  
  <p>Still, from now on, I would like to work with UTF-8 anyways. So the question is, why are my created text files still encoded in ASCII, even though my Eclipse workspace property has been set to UTF-8? </p>
  
  <p>I have also tried to change the property globally within eclipse.in with the following line: <em>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8</em></p>
  
  <p>Another thing I was wondering, if the "New text file line delimiter" from "Properties->Workspace" set to default (in my case Unix) could have anything to do with this issue?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
