I have a file which has international characters (UTF-8). How so I set this encoding type as a part of svn property and how do I ensure that it overrides automatically default encoding in eclipse i.e. eclipse should automatically set UTF-8 encoding based on the svn property (may be mime-type).

I had same problem, but solved by setting below:

Set Encoding in Eclipse: Project --> Properties --> Resources --> Text File Encoding --> Other (UTF-8)

I was struggling with this for a while, and have found another solution. If you're using maven you can set the encoding in the pom. see https://maven.apache.org/general.html.

After you've added this, when you do a Maven > Update Project (Alt + F5) it will set the correct encoding for the project.

<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>
  ...
</project>

In SVN, I don't know but you can set text file encoding on each file individually: right-click on the file, go to properties and in the resource submenu check 'Other' for Text File Encoding.
