Distributed Version Control System (DVCS)

I'm currently looking for a DVCS for a new project. I found three tools :

• mercurial
• git
• baazar

It's not easy to choose, and as usual I don't want to waste too much time in testing all three.

To go through the decision I found  many links :

DVCS and eclipse

And a comparison

at the end, I think, I will use mercurial and post if this tool does not fit. 

java encoding...

If you want to set java encoding to UTF-8 (or what ever you want...) you could use :

• JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS in you environment to set  file.encoding property with JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8  
• starting your vm with -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8  argument
• set the default encoding in your favorite IDE.
