----------------------------------------

             Summary: allow different encodings for files inside the same resource-directory
                 Key: MRESOURCES-281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-281
             Project: Maven Resources Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: filtering
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Carsten Rohde


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}
