title: Working with utf-8 files in Eclipse
body: <p>Quite straight forward question. Is there a way to configure Eclipse to work with text files encoded with utf-8 with and without the BOM?</p>
  
  <p>So far I've used eclipse with utf-8 encoding and it works, but when I try to edit a file generated by another editor that includes the BOM, Eclipse doesn't handle it properly, it 'shows an invisible character' at the begining of the file (the BOM). Is there a way to make Eclipse understand utf-8 encoded files with BOM?</p>
