Re: [jira] [Commented] (RAT-242) Encoding of XML report

Posted by Jochen Wiedmann <jo...@gmail.com>.
+1 to UTF-8 as the default encoding. (Even, if we had another default
in the past.)

And +10 to rewriting the XML stuff to use a proper XML generation
tool, for example java.xml.transform. (This has always been one of the
worst aspects in the Rat code base.)
