Add default encodings section to POM
------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2216
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2216
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: POM
Versions: 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3
Reporter: Trustin Lee
Attachments: example-pom.xml
Look at the attached example POM.
Do you see many duplicate configuration properties ('UTF-8') in it? and the
names of properties are very inconsistent.
It would be great if:
1) Add a global section which specifies default encodings:
<defaultEncodings>
<!-- Default: UTF-8 -->
<inputEncoding>UTF-8</inputEncoding>
<!-- Will be the same with inputEncoding if not specified. -->
<outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
</defaultEncodings>
2) Make encoding properties in all plugins to be consistent and deprecate old
properties. The default values could be:
inputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.input}
outputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.output}
so users can override the default settings easily.
