Life would become easier if there was a dedicated POM element like ${project.build.sourceEncoding} which could be used to specify the encoding once per entire project. Every plugin could use it as default value:
/** * @parameter expression="${encoding}" default-value="${project.build.sourceEncoding}" */private String encoding; |
Adding this element to the POM structure can only happen in Maven 3.x 4+ (tracked with MNG-2216 issue):
<project> ... <build> <!-- NOTE: This is just a vision for the future, it's not yet implemented: see MNG-2216 --> <sourceEncoding>UTF-8</sourceEncoding> ... </build> ...</project> |
For Maven 2.x, the value can be defined as an equivalent property:
...
<project> ... <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> ... </properties> ...</project> |
Thus plugins could immediately be modified to use ${project.build.sourceEncoding} expression, whatever Maven version is used.
