How to generate javadoc documentation with umlauts?

html encoding javadoc diacritics

I am trying to generate Java documentation in Eclipse. The source files are UTF-8 encoded and contain some umlauts. The resulting HTML files do not specify an encoding and do not use HTML entities, so the umlauts aren't displayed correctly in any browser.

What can I do to change this?

Modified from Eclipse javadoc in utf-8:

Project -> Generate Javadoc -> Next -> on the last page, in Extra Javadoc options write:

-encoding UTF-8 -charset UTF-8 -docencoding UTF-8
