    This is a heads up about a change in the behaviour of WOLips in future
    builds when managing component encoding types.

    It should now be possible to change the encoding type of a component
    using just the eclipse "Resource->Text file encoding" context menu on
    the component in the WO Package Explorer. This will automaticaly edit
    the woo file, or create one if necessary, and explicitly set the
    encoding type of the .html and .wod files. This process requires that
    you use a valid Java charset instead of the old NS* obj-c style
    charset name.

    This change also means that the encoding type of a component can be
    inherited from the parent folder. So you can manage the encoding type
    of all components within a folder by changing the default encoding
    type of the parent folder (assuming the contained components still
    inherit their encoding type, the default behaviour).

    The WOComponent creation wizard hasn't yet been updated to reflect
    these changes, so a newly created component will still be created the
    same as before, and may have warnings about the character encoding of
    the woo file not matching that of the component, this will change in
    the future.
