> Do you see many duplicate configuration properties ('UTF-8') in it?  and the names of properties are very inconsistent.
> It would be great if:
> 1) Add a global section which specifies default encodings:
> <defaultEncodings>
>     <!-- Default: UTF-8 -->
>     <inputEncoding>UTF-8</inputEncoding>
>     <!-- Will be the same with inputEncoding if not specified. -->
>     <outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
> </defaultEncodings>
> 2) Make encoding properties in all plugins to be consistent and deprecate old properties.  The default values could be:
> inputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.input}
> outputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.output}
> so users can override the default settings easily.
