You can setup your Netbeans with startup option
place it inside netbeans.conf into netbeans_default_options

-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

In the end it should look like

netbeans_default_options="..... -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

Hope it'll help you

I need to add Farsi/Arabic/rtl comment but ver bad position how to fix it? it work properly in eclipse – Sajad Bahmani May 17 '11 at 13:45
I think you have to create whole document (source code file) in rtl/Farsi/Arabic, you cannot mark just one place to be RTL. – Marek Sebera May 19 '11 at 05:53
How to create whole document (source code file) in rtl/Farsi/Arabic ? – Sajad Bahmani May 20 '11 at 10:38
I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't mix code (LTR) with comments or user texts (RTL). If you can place the comments outside of box to some separate text file and link to it. – Marek Sebera May 22 '11 at 00:59

Here are instructions for setting the default character set in Netbeans to UTF-8 (in Windows):

1 Go to C:\Program Files\netbeans-x.x\etc
2 Open netbeans.conf in Notepad.
3 On the netbeans_default_options add: -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8. (make sure to put it within the quotation marks)
4 Project properties -> Build -> Compiling ->

    Additional compiler options) text box.- add: -encoding UTF-8 

5 You can also check to make sure that you have increased the memory allocation for Netbeans by looking at the netbeans_default_options line. The default max is 128MB. We have increased this to 256MB.
