[rap-dev] Changed encoding to UTF-8

Hi RAP developers,

I resolved bug 335090 [1] and changed the encoding of all source files
in our CVS HEAD branch to UTF-8. Since UTF-8 is backward compatible to
ASCII, only files with non-ASCII characters have changed. Property
files remain in ISO-8859-1. Also HTML files that identify themselves
as ISO-8859-1 are unchanged.

The new encoding is set on project level, that means once you updated
your projects from CVS, Eclipse automatically has the right setting.
You don't have to change anything. But take care in case you apply any
patches with non-ASCII characters (unlikely).

The change does not affect the RAP Incubator. I thought the Incubator
is a project of its own and I didn't want to mess around there.
However, I'd recommend that also the projects in the Incubator switch
to UTF-8 for the sake of consistency.
