For your information.

Please look into bug# 244441 c43

I think we need to change the config.rdf.tmpl that is changed in the eclipse installation to
<db_encoding>UTF-8</db_encoding>

Comment 4 Denis Roy 2011-01-06 09:26:10 EST

Instead of updating it, can I just remove it?  Here's what I'm seeing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Note: this interface is experimental and under development.
   - We may and probably will make breaking changes to it in the future. -->

<RDF xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
     xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
     xmlns:bz="http://www.bugzilla.org/rdf#">

<bz:installation rdf:about="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/">
  <bz:install_version>3.6.3</bz:install_version>
  <db_encoding>ISO-8859-1</db_encoding>


The encoding is already specified in the first line.

Comment 5 Steffen Pingel 2011-01-06 13:39:18 EST

Frank, can you check if the XML header reflects the database encoding? All Bugzilla instances I looked at returned UTF-8 but they might have all indeed been configured for UTF-8. 

The earliest we could release support for parsing the header would be in February as part of Helios SR2 (Mylyn 3.4.3 ). To support older Mylyn versions we need the <db_encoding/> tag around for a while.

The XML header is only for the XML content and not the database encoding, so we must stay with the db_encoding until we have an better way.

Yes I can do some work for this but we should define what to do.

This change is done on our end.  It may take a while for config.xml to propagate to the mirrors but you can see our local copy on d.e.org:

Thanks Denis.

Frank, let's make sure that we have an open bug and patch against Bugzilla to get this into the standard configuration schema.

Thanks Denis.

It may take a while until all mylyn clients have the updated configuration. Expect that you get many account locked until every user have the new version.
