Aaron Digulla commented on MRESOURCES-171:
------------------------------------------
We have all been in your place and thought "this can't be, can it? How is that
supposed to work?" Well, it may be a bug or a feature but the fact is: The Java
VM *always* uses ISO-8859-1 to read and write properties files. Unless you get
Oracle and all the other JVMs to change the source code, that's the way it is.
And all the IDEs and all the other tools and ... you get the idea. You want
Chinese in a properties file? You need to use escape sequences.
I don't like it either but no amount of dislike is going to change the facts.
> ISO8859-1 properties files get changed into UTF-8 when filtered

> Key: MRESOURCES-171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-171
> Project: Maven Resources Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: filtering
> Reporter: Alex Collins
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: filtering-bug.zip
>
>
> Create:
> src/main/resources/test.properties
> And add a ISO8859-1 character that is not ASCII or UTF-8, do not use \uXXXX
> formatting.
> When adding this line:
> <resource><directory>src/main/resources</directory><filtering>true</filtering></resource>
> Expected:
> ISO8859-1 encoded file in jar.
> Actual:
> UTF-8 encoded file in jar.
> ---
> If there are any property files (which can only be ISO8859-1) they appear to
> be converted into UTF-8 in the jar.
