Checking-in changes to new change set
Error during upload
File /Myapp/src/main/webapp/documents/armyIFX.ifx has character encoding UTF-8 but the contents do not match the encoding. Change the encoding of the file or the default for the project.

Two options, if this really a text file then change it's encoding (Team > Change Properties) on the file or make it binary. Or, in the Eclipse client you can change the default encoding to be used. It's important that for text files in which you want line endings to be harmonized that we understand the encoding and that it matches what is in the file.
