Pascal-Nicolas Becker commented on DS-1528:
-------------------------------------------
I think it is obvious that Maven read the properties file as if it is
ISO-8859-1 encoded and writes the dspace.cfg UTF-8 encoded. As Maven suppose
the properties file is latin-1 encoded and the target should be utf-8 encoded
it converts the source files to uft-8. Doing so usual charactes don't get
crumbled as there is no difference between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. But if you do
this with german Umlauts or characters with accents or so on, they get
crumbled. Tim took UTF-8 text, told iconv to read it as ISO-8859-1 encoded text
and to convert it to UTF-8 and it happend what I just explained. Maven does the
same...
Just a bold guess: Perhaps Maven has the same problem we had? You can do what
ever you want (-Dfile.encoding, ....), if you use
java.util.Properties.load(InputStream), it will always reads the InputStream as
if it is ISO-8859-1 encoded. I don't have time to look for and in the maven
source code, but I can imagine that Maven reads the Properties file like this.
The solution would be to use java.util.Properties.load(Reader).
In my opinion java.util.Properties.load(InputStream) should be marked
deprecated, just my two cents ander perhaps off-topic here. ;-)

>
> This is related to DS-1469
> When UTF-8 characters are placed in the build.properties file, they are
> improperly filtered into the final dspace.cfg file.
> This seems to be the fault of the maven-resources-plugin. However, according
> to it's documentation, it is supposed to support UTF-8 encoding:
