Description

If a java souce file contains unicode source, for example in identifiers, the built-in compiler fails to parse it, and the editor shows the wrong characters in the editor window. The file WILL compile correctly in gradle. The same sources cause no problem in ant-style Java projects. Setting
"compileJava.options.encoding = 'UTF-8'" and

 
tasks.withType(Compile) {
options.encoding = 'UTF-8'
}
Does not fix the NetBeans problem.

 

Here In Jira, I tried attaching a sample java source file, but Jira complains about a missing token. But I will try to enter some unicode source here:

 

public enum EnumWithUnicode {
    Bondye,
    Xêvioso,
    Gû,
    Agê,
    Jo,
    Lêgba;

    public enum Family

{         RADA, VUDÚ, VODUN;     }

}
