Lock down encoding used to read source files
--------------------------------------------
Key: MCHECKSTYLE-86
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-86
Project: Maven 2.x Checkstyle Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Minor
Attachments: fixed-charset.patch
Since [version
3.5|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html#Release%203.5],
Checkstyle allows to configure the encoding used to read source files (somehow
weird, they included this setting in the XML config which limits reusability
among unrelated projects). Unless this is specified by the user via the
[charset property|http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config.html#TreeWalker], it
defaults to the system property "file.encoding". This makes the checks
platform-dependent and possibly fail. For reproducible builds, the encoding
should be locked down.
