Eclipse UTF8 without BOM (Byte order Mark)
I'm using Eclipse along with the PDT plugin (php development tools) and PHP or Apache doesn't play nice with UTF8 unless there is not BOM (Byte order Mark).
This makes no sense because i don't see an option in eclipse workspace preferences to set UTF8 WITHOUT BOM. only UTF8 (BOM)
Does anybody know how i can set eclipse to use UTF8 without BOM? This has been bugging me for a long time now, HELP :(

I know how to change the character encoding. Its just that the encoding that i'm looking for doesn't seem to exist. For example in other text editors like notepad++ and ultra edit will allow you to save utf-8 files with or without BOM. I'm guessing this option isn't available in eclipse, anybody know of a workaround or plugin?

It seems that this is a bug in PHP. You could start php with:
--enable-zend-multibyte
Also, you can specify the encoding of php files from Eclipse.
See the attached image. You reach that via:
Window->Preferences->Gener
Select Text in the right part, Select PHP Content Type.
Select all files, and write in the Default Encoding field at the bottom: UTF8.
