Victor Rubezhny commented on JBIDE-9937:
----------------------------------------

In my case editor uses CharsetEncoder to convert editor's content into ISO-8859-1 encoding and this encoder is set up to report a problem when it faces an Unmappable Character. 
If we would like to change this strategy we have the only "replace" choice to use but any replacement will kill original content (probably we can replace UTF-8 character by UrlEncoded equivalent but more sophisticated processing is to be performed for xml content (I though that xml node/attribute names cannod be encoded, and so on).
Other possibility is to prevent the saving for such documents by detecting the problems prior to saving and doing (in case of decode problems) the save way as Save operation does (with showing the dialog with the proposal to save in UTF-8 encoding).
