I just started downloading the SR1 release of Eclipse Galileo. According to bugzilla, there were 241 bugs fixed with this release.

Can’t wait for the download to finish to check if Eclipse is working better on Snow Leopard…

Thanks for the tip:

Amateras HTML Editor for Eclipse

EclipseHTMLEditor is an Eclipse Plugin for HTML / JSP / XML / CSS / DTD / JavaScript editing. This plugin is required by StrutsIDE and FacesIDE.

HTML/JSP/XML/CSS/DTD/JavaScript Highlighting

HTML/JSP Preview

HTML/JSP/XML Validation

Contents Assist

Wizards for creating HTML/JSP/XML files

And many more powerful features…

Works fine with Eclipse Galileo.
I am using it now along with the Google Eclipse Plugin for GWT development/ training.

GWT, eclipse, i18n, and UTF-8 properties

GWT does a great job reading UTF-8 encoded property files:

Both Constants and Messages use traditional Java properties files, with one notable difference: properties files used with GWT should be encoded as UTF-8 and may contain Unicode characters directly, avoiding the need for native2ascii.

This is nice, but there is a tiny little problem when using eclipse: the default encoding for java property files is ISO-8859-1.

This setting can be changed in the eclipse preferences:

Or you can change the encoding of a single file with “EDIT -> Set Encoding”…
