Dear Maintainer,

BUILD FAILED
/build/swt4-gtk-4.17.0/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/buildFragment.xml:88: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/build/swt4-gtk-4.17.0/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/buildFragment.xml:61: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

The default encoding is US-ASCII. Some packages contain characters
that cannot be displayed with the default encoding and thus will
cause build failures. Set encoding to UTF-8 to fix this error.

I'm attaching a patch which includes the fix. Please could you review it.

Thank you.

Regards,
Vignesh
