Dear community, The Maven team is currently discussing a proposal about the future handling of reporting output file encoding by the various plugins, please see our wiki article [0] for all details.
A controversial aspect of this proposal is which file encoding should be assumed in case the user did not specify this in the POM. This poll should help us to come to a well-founded decision. These are the two possible directions to go: a) use fixed UTF-8 encoding b) use same encoding as source files Approach a) is simple and sould work for everybody, since any character can be output in UTF-8. Approach b) is more subtle and mimics the behaviour of javadoc tool. Since reports contain more data than source content, there are cases where this default value won't be appropriate (for example, if project's description in pom.xml contains characters that can't be output with source files encoding). So, please let us know: [a] Use UTF-8 [b] Use source files encoding Regards, Hervé [0] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Reporting+Encoding+Configuration --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
