--------------------------------------------

Hi,
We stumbled across this issue today for one of our projects that has {{project.build.sourceEncoding=UTF-8}} and includes properties files that use ISO-8859-1 encoding. The properties files are filtered. We have both regular properties files and properties files that are used as ResourceBundles. There are also non-properties files in the resources directory that needs to be filtered.

Here is a proposal on how such a situation can be handled.

> 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.
