Fred Bricon commented on MSOURCES-113:
--------------------------------------
Sure it's doable, but what if Maven did it for *everyone* *automatically* (with
the option to disable it maybe)? Then it becomes a standard, and IDEs can start
relying on it.
> Store source encoding info in a standard file

> Key: MSOURCES-113
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSOURCES-113
> Project: Maven Source Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Fred Bricon
> Assignee: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.1.1

>
> It'd be nice if IDEs were able to automatically set proper source encoding
> when attaching sources to project dependencies.
> In eclipse/m2e, we tried to automatically detect encoding but it didn't work
> out [https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/116390/]
> A more reliable way would be to ensure the encoding info was stored inside
> the source archive, so that IDEs could peek into it and ensure proper
> settings.
