Every time I start/restart Eclipse it changes the Text File Encoding to Other: UTF-8 instead of the Default (Cp1252)

Question

so I have been reading and trying all the options I have found online with no success. The Problem: Every time I start/restart my Eclipse (Neon 4.6.2) the encoding is set back to Other: UTF-8 (I want it to be the Default Cp1252). Screenshot.

I have set the encoding in eclipse.ini to -Dfile.encoding=Cp1252. Also tried the -Dclient.encoding.override=Cp1252 option. No help. Also set all other possible encodings in eclipse->Window->Preferences to Cp1252. No success. Info: OS Windows 10, Java JDK1.8.0_112

Anyone have any ideas? I read that the encoding can be influenced by my JVM-encoding? I am really clueless here.

I'm also suffering on this problem. Perhaps one of the installed plugin is guilty? — V15I0N, Mar 14 '17 at 09:59
It could be the Oomph plugin, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35342840/eclipse-resets-text-encoding-settings-after-every-restart — V15I0N, Mar 14 '17 at 10:14
checking "Skip automatic task execution at startup time" worked for me. Tyvm — Argh, Mar 16 '17 at 07:49

I fixed it by enabling the option "Skip automatic task execution at startup time" in the Ooomp -> Setup Tasks Preference Page.
