Dear all,

I tried to open a jsp file and got a message like the subject. In my company, we always put the first line like this:
<%@ page contentType = “text/html;charset=cp950″%>

Why MyEclipse(3.8.4) cannot open the jsp file with “charset=cp950”? Does that mean it haven’t supported traditional Chinese charset?

Please help me this out. Thank you a lot.

Hi Ben,

No – we do not support cp950, but we do support a couple of other encodings for Chinese – BIG5(Traditional Chinese) and GB18030 (Chinese National Standard) you can use either of those in your text and it should be fine – I hope either of those two are usable.

Let us know if you have further problems,

Brian.

You don’t support “cp950”!!!! That would be a big concern for my company to consider adopting MyEclipse, because we have applied chartset setting as “cp950” for Taiwan area clients and “GB2312” for China area clients. If MyEclipse doesn’t support these two charsets, I have to search for another J2EE development plugin, or would you MyEclipse team add these two chartsets in your product soon?

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I was hoping the charsets mentioned above would suffice. 🙁

Since they do not – we will research this issue and I’ll let you know what we intend to do in a day or two.

Thank you for your patience,
Brian.

Ben,

Apparently, cp950 is a a Microsoft implementation of Big5. I also noticed that ms950 is an alias of cp950 – and ms950 works with no problems in MyEclipse. So, take your pick – either use Big5 or ms950.
GB2312 works directly in MyEclipse with no problems.

Please let us know if you have further issues,
Best,
Brian.

Hi Brian:

cp950 has more fonts support for Traditional Chinese and that’s why we use cp950 instead of Big5. Thank you for your information about ms950. I’ll try to convince my co-workers to adpot ms950.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Best,
Ben

Hi, Brian:

Another reason we use cp950 is that The ms950 setting on the UNIX may not work. So, I do hope your team can support cp950 for the sake of UNIX.

Best,
Ben
