Currently,

...

the

...

character

...

encoding

...

for

...

reports

...

output

...

files

...

needs

...

to

...

be

...

configured

...

individually

...

for

...

each

...

and

...

every

...

plugin

...

that

...

creates

...

new

...

report

...

types.

...

Life

...

would

...

become

...

easier

...

if

...

there

...

was

...

a

...

dedicated

...

POM

...

element

...

like $project.reporting.outputEncoding

...

which

...

could

...

be

...

used

...

to

...

specify

...

the

...

encoding

...

once

...

per

...

entire

...

project.

...

Every

...

plugin

...

could

...

use

...

it

...

as

...

default

...

value,

...

like

...

it

...

has

...

been

...

done

...

with

...

source

...

files

...

encoding:

Code Block
java
java
|MAVENUSER:POM Element for Source File Encoding]:
{code:java}
/**
* @parameter expression="${encoding}" default-value="${project.reporting.outputEncoding}"
*/
private String encoding;
{code}

Adding

...

this

...

element

...

to

...

the

...

POM

...

structure

...

can

...

only

...

happen

...

in

...

Maven

...

2.1:

Code Block
xml
xml

{code:xml}
<project>
  ...
  <reporting>
    <outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
    ...
  </reporting>
  ...
</project>
{code}
For  Maven 

For Maven 2.0.x,

...

the

...

value

...

can

...

be

...

defined

...

as

...

an

...

equivalent

...

property:

Code Block
xml
xml

\\
{code:xml}
<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
    ...
  </properties>
  ...
</project>
{code}

Thus

...

plugins

...

could

...

immediately

...

be

...

modified

...

to

...

use

...

$project.reporting.outputEncoding

...

expression,

...

whatever

...

Maven

...

version

...

is

...

used.

...

Default

...

Value

...

Actually,

...

some

...

plugins

...

use

...

ISO-8859-1

...

as

...

default

...

output

...

encoding

...

(maven-site-plugin,

...

maven-jxr-plugin),

...

others

...

UTF-8

...

(cobertura-maven-plugin),

...

or

...

even

...

platform

...

encoding

...

(maven-javadoc-plugin).

...

Proposed

...

unified

...

default

...

value:

...

UTF-8

...

,

...

which

...

must

...

be

...

supported

...

by

...

every

...

JVM

...

(see

...

java.nio.Charset)

...

and

...

will

...

work

...

for

...

anybody

...

in

...

the

...

world.

...

A

...

check

...

has

...

to

...

be

...

coded

...

in

...

every

...

plugin

...

with

...

the

...

default

...

value:

Code Block
java
java

{code:java}
/**
* Gets the effective reporting output files encoding.
*
* @return The effective reporting output file encoding, never <code>null</code>.
*/
protected String getEncoding()
{
    return ( encoding == null ) ? ReaderFactory.UTF_8 : encoding;
}
{code}

This

...

default

...

value

...

can

...

be

...

coded

...

in

...

POM

...

model

...

too

...

for

...

2.1.x

...

(default

...

value

...

of

...

the

...

encoding

...

attribute)

...

and

...

in

...

super-pom

...

in

...

Maven

...

2.0.x.

...

But

...

this

...

change

...

is

...

only

...

for

...

clarity

...

since

...

without

...

it,

...

the

...

previous

...

check

...

coded

...

in

...

every

...

plugin

...

will

...

transform

...

null

...

value

...

to

...

the

...

chosen

...

default

...

value.
