In NetBeans 6 M7 and in NB6 200703111900 when I do a rename on a code element through refactoring, my comments, written in non-ascii characters (characters of Extended Greek), get converted into a sequence \uXXXX (X: hexadecimal digit). The file is in UTF-8 encoding, and the IDE is started with the option -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8. (Before the rename refactoring the comments read OK).
I have just tried it in current trunk build (with some Czech characters in source) and was unable to reproduce it. Tomas Z. did some changes in encoding and I suppose this was one of the fixed issue. Cc'ing Tomas. thanks for the report.
I found the duplicate.
