Configuration for different report encodings (other than UTF-8)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MCOBERTURA-85
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOBERTURA-85
Project: Maven 2.x Cobertura Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Sasha
The Cobertura patch 1670817 implements the possibility to specify the encoding
for the java source code files. This is absolutely necessary if the Java source
code uses encoding other than UTF-8. See
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=720017&aid=1670817&group_id=130558
It would be nice if everybody would use UTF-8, this is however not always
possible; i.e. due to Microsoft's dominance (:-)) many people use unconciously
the so called ANSI (Windows-1252) unofficial "standard". When writing code
(better to say comments) in other languages than english, the Cobertura report
output (that utilizes UTF-8) is hardly readable.
Hence, it is highly desirable if somebody would implement asap an appropriate
patch for the maven cobertura plugin where with a new configuration option the
user can specify the source character set (the default remains UTF-8).
