Some of them are, that's the thing, but I understand that it's hard to justify the efford if there is not much need for this feature.

>             Project: Maven Resources Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: filtering
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.0

> Currently each resource-directory has a single encoding, with the recent exception of properties (MRESOURCES-171).
> If you need to filter differently encoded files, this can become quite a hazzle: The only way (at least that I'm aware of) is to have different resouce-directories, one for each encoding.  Apart from bloating the pom, it also forces you to have related files at different locations if they are encoded differently.
>  
> What I'm suggesting is to generalize what has been done for properties by allowing to override the <encoding> for specific files/patterns.
> Ideally this would be part of the resource-declaration but being able to configure the resources plugin accordingly would already help a lot:
> {code:java}
> <configuration>
>    <encodingOverrides>
>        <encodingOverride>
>           <encoding>UTF-16</encoding>
>           <includes>**/*.myfile</includes>
>        </encodingOverride>
>        <encodingOverride>
>            <encoding>iso-latin-1</encoding>
>            <includes>**/*.other</includes>
>        </encodingOverride>
>    </encodingOverrides>
> </configuration>
> What do you think?{code}
