getEncoding

String getEncoding(org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI uri)

Returns the encoding that should be used to read a resource from the given uri. If the uri is null, the default encoding for the language is returned. At runtime, the default encoding was either configured externally or it is obtained from the class Charset. In the UI environment, the encoding should usually be read from the workspace metadata.

Parameters:

uri - the uri of the specific resource or null to obtain the default encoding.
