I am trying to open a class under a project and i keep getting the same error: Creation of element failed. Reason: Cp65001.

I understood it has to do something with JDK version. So, I downloaded the eclipse update to java 13, as followed here: Java 13 support for eclipse

and also tried out all the suggestion in the link below: How to change JDK version for an Eclipse project

I don't know what else i can do. Is it recommended to use Java 11?

Thank you for your help

Cp65001 is the Windows way of saying UTF-8, so it seems you're running on Windows, and that you changed the default character set to "code page 65001", and that Java / Eclipse cannot handle it.

Update the Eclipse settings to explicitly select UTF-8, by selecting pull-down menu Window > Preferences, selecting node General > Workspace and changing the Text file encoding to Other: UTF-8

If you then right-click your project and select Properties, select node Resource, you should see Text file encoding having value Inherited from container (UTF-8). You can change it here on a project-by-project basis, instead of the global setting in the Preferences dialog, if you so choose.
