Is there a way to specify encoding of files configured in ?

["Mark H. Wood" <mw...@IUPUI.Edu>]

We have sites in countries where the local language uses non-8859-1
characters, and the local people would like to write interpolated
externalized property values in UTF-8.  Understandably, they would
rather not resort to nearly-unintelligible escape sequences.  Is there
some way to get <build><filters> or a <build><filters><filter> to use
UTF-8 encoding when reading a serialized Properties?

Our projects have long used
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> but
it has no effect on this.  It appears that this only applies to files
*read by Maven*, and that Maven understandably uses
java.util.Properties.load(), which takes no notice of POM values, to
read .properties files.

Hi,

Could you please give an pom excerpt of what you're trying to do? Or even
better a test project?

If you use .properties files, then Maven might not be the issue here.
Properties files *must* be encoded in iso-8859-1 whatever happens.

Cheers
