maven filter and UTF-8

[jan_bar <he...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

It seems to me that maven 2.0.4 filter corrupts UTF-8 files. I have a XML
file with UTF-8 encoding that doesn't contain any replacement strings, but
it is filtered. The resulting file is not the same as source file, UTF-8
characters are wrong. Why maven modifies the file? I suspect, that the
filter also changes encoding.
I am on Windows 2000 and default encoding for Java seems to be cp1250.

Jan

You need to specify the encoding for resources plugin. Unfiltered files 
are copied as-is, but filtering sets the encoding to platform default, 
if unspecified. Check out this link for example configuration:

cheers,
