resources with different encodings

[Alex Milanovic <al...@iogeo.com>]

Hi All,

I have a mix of resources in UTF-8 (XML files) and ISO-8859-1 (properties
files). The resource encoding can be configured only on the level of the
entire resource plugin, but I need to be able to specify the encoding per
resource. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Alex

Doesn't work. A resource cannot specify the encoding, only the
resource plugin can. I've googled this but haven't found anything
useful. Strangely, I haven't had any problems with the
encoding-unaware setup even though in theory I should have had
problems. I have XML files in UTF-8 and Java property files are by
default in ISO-8859-1. Some of these files have accented letters that
typically cause lots of problems. I thought I should configure Maven
to copy the two sets of resources using their respective encodings to
avoid any potential problems in the future, but I haven't discovered a
way (if it exists). I am actually a bit surprised that such a basic
thing is not built into Maven. I would expect to be able to specify
the encoding per resource.

Cheers,
Alex

You'd need to create:
/src/main/resources/utf8
/src/main/resources/iso88591

And then configure each instance pointing to the proper directory...
or something along those lines.

Ok, I defined two different executions of the resource plugin, gave them
different IDs but how can I control which one is executed for each
individual resource? They should be executed in the same phase and for the
same goal.

You'd need multiple executions of the resource plugin, but it can be done
