Change the default input/output encoding to UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2215
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2215
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: General
Versions: 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3
Reporter: Trustin Lee
Currently, all input and output encodings of source code and site are
ISO-8859-1 by default. UTF-8 covers all characters in ISO-8859-1 without any
migration, and moreover, it supports other characters which ISO-8859-1 cannot
cover such as Korean and Japanese. Changing the default encodings to UTF-8
will be great because some plugins might not provide any configuration
properties for encodings but uses some default values. For example, maven site
plugin didn't have an input encoding property. If the default encoding is
ISO-8859-1, people doesn't have any chance to express their native language at
all (e.g. source code comments, site documentation, ...). If the default
encoding is UTF-8 at least, they could use their native language at least.
To do this,
1) Change all default values which are ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
2) Set VM system property: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 for the plugins which doesn't
consider encodings at all.
