IMHO you are barking at the wrong tree.

As long as you have non-US-ASCII characters in the Java source code,
all bets are off. The compiler interprets the contents of the source
file according to its own language preferences. man javac(1), look for
"-encoding".

Just work around this by adding

maven.compile.encoding = ISO-8859-1

to the project.properties. Trying to second guess the platform
encoding will lead you nowhere.

Without this line, the tests still fail. Using UTF-8 locale, Java tries
to interpret the c-cedille as Unicode and the match fails.

You will still put a "gotcha" in. If someone opens the source code
file with an unicode based editor, the character will be unreadable
and if he changes it to a correct UTF-8 c-cedille (can you spell
emacs?), then the tests will fail _again_. So replace the c-cedille
with a \xxx sequence. Can't tell you the right value from the top of
my head, though.

This is what we got for not making UTF-8 compatible to ISO-8859-1.
