Herve Boutemy commented on MNG-2932:
------------------------------------
there was a real chaos, with many problems.
I tried the other problem you just reported = german texts in
project-info-report
I was able to reproduce the problem, which is in MPIR, not in Maven itself
(german umlaut in pom.xml was a Maven problem)
and I found that it is fixed in svn since August 15 2006, in 2.1-SNAPSHOT
version: I checked, and it works perfectly
there is work in progress to release version 2.1 in the next weeks
if there are other problems, please open a dedicated Jira issue for each one,
since the encoding chaos is now globally fixed: we need now focused reports on
precise bugs that could still be here
> Encoding chaos
> --------------

> Key: MNG-2932
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2932
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: POM::Encoding
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.0.5, 2.0.6
> Environment: windows, linux
> Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller
> Assignee: Herve Boutemy
> Fix For: 2.0.8

> I have tried maven on a project where javadocs, xdocs, pom-comments are in a
> native language with many NON-ASCII characters.
> This seems to reveal that maven is not acting clean with different encodings.
> For instance the xdocs are XML. And XML allows me to use different encodings
> if properly declared in the xml header. However it only works if I encode the
> XML as UTF-8. If I use ISO-8859-1 then the produced HTML contains UTF-8
> characters from the nationalized site messages (resource bundles of maven
> plugins) and maven dumps the ISO-8859-1 encoded characters into that and ends
> up with mixed encodings in one HTML page.
> Additionally the JAVA files also cause trouble when I use a different
> encoding than UTF-8. I configured the "encoding" for javadoc plugin to
> ISO-8859-1 and used Java files in that encoding. The resulting javadoc HTML
> was written in ISO-8859-1 but the browser displayed it as UTF-8 and I had to
> switch explicitly to ISO-8859-1 in firefox in order to have the special
> characters displayed properly.
> Further I encounter trouble when I use special characters in pom.xml files
> that go onto the generated web-site. In the end I could NOT find a way to
> have a site without problems - even when I encode everything as UTF-8.
> Maybe there are too few developers involved from non english-speaking
> countries that are used to think beyond US-ASCII ;)
> Unfortunatly I can not tell where the problems come from - it may be XPP,
> doxia, site-plugin or individual reports or all together.
> You need to properly distinguish between input and output encoding and have
> to be extremly careful with Stuff like byte[]
> and never parse XML from strings.
> Can you reproduce the problem or do you need dummy projects as test-cases?
