I've just noticed that if I globally change default encoding (from UTF-8 to UTF-16) I'll have errors with default auto-generated files when I create new project.

I supose that Eclipse Developers created just 1 (UTF-8) version of default files not having regard to the the fact that if programmer globally change default encoding to something diffirent it will make auto-generated files useless.

It can be avoided if you force UTF-8 encoding for files however this is not the solution.

Here you have screenshots of test project:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Globally change default encoding (Window->Preferences) - in my case from UTF-8 (which is default) to UTF-16.
2. Create new project of type "Hello World" (I've tested it, only for C++ Hello World project).
3. Done. You can see some asian characters.

That's a bug in the project wizard / template engine.

I can't find this on product list - could you tell me what to change?
