Currently my native2ascii goal is configured:

      <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>native2ascii-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
              <execution>
                <goals>
                  <goal>native2ascii</goal>
                </goals>
                <!-- specific configurations -->
                <configuration>
                  <encoding>UTF8</encoding>
                  <src>${basedir}/resources</src>
                  <dest>target/classes</dest>
                  <includes>**/*.properties</includes>
                </configuration>
              </execution>
            </executions>
      </plugin>

Does this mean I need to break away from UTF8 and set the encoding value to
something else? Am I just missing the point?
