[jbosstools-dev] General help question: Any idea how to get Eclipse to stop modifying my surname after importing prefs?

[Snjezana Peco]

You have probably created *.epf file using some buggy utility.
*.epf file can contain only Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded characters.
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/native2ascii.html
Your encoded name is Galder Zamarre\u00F1o.
If you export preferences using the Eclipse Export Preferences command, 
you will get the correct file.
