IDEA can't open configuration files saved in UTF8 with BOM

Created: 01 Apr 08 15:36   Updated: 01 Apr 08 15:38
Component/s: IDE Configuration

Environment: 10.5.1 osx, intel core duo, java 1.5.0

Build: 7,757


 Description  « Hide
IDEA fails to open project files (ipr or iml) which have been saved in UTF-8 with a BOM. The error message is that the file contains "content in the prolog".

To reproduce:

  • use kdiff3 on osx to merge two configuration files and try to open project.
  • use textwrangler on osx
    1. close the project (if open)
    2. open the file
    3. save file using "Save As..."
    4. choose "Options..."
    5. select "Unicode (UTF-8)" in "Encodings"
    6. click "OK", then "Save"
    7. attempt to re-open project
      VP: failed to open project with error message

To workaround:

  • use textwrangler on osx
    1. close the project (if open)
    2. open the file
    3. save file using "Save As..."
    4. choose "Options..."
    5. select "Unicode (UTF-8, no BOM)" in "Encodings"
    6. click "OK", then "Save"
    7. attempt to re-open project
