The > [{{<output>}}|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/evaluate-mojo.html#output] > option allows the evaluated information to be sent to a file. But the > documentation does not say which charset will be used! > I was afraid that you might be using the system default charset (which would > be very bad). But I did a test: > {code:xml} > <properties> > <foo><![CDATA[<bar>touché 😃</bar>]]></foo> > </properties> > … > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-help-plugin</artifactId> > <executions> > <execution> > <id>foobar</id> > <phase>generate-resources</phase> > <goals> > <goal>evaluate</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > <expression>foo</expression> > <output>${project.build.directory}/foo.xml</output> > </configuration> > </execution> > </executions> > </plugin> > {code} > It was a huge relief to find that the output file {{foo.xml}} contained the > word "touché" followed by a smiley face emoticon, encoded in UTF-8! > It is a very good thing that you are encoding the file output in UTF-8 and > not some arbitrary, per-system encoding. But this needs to be documented so > we'll know that we can depend on that. Thank you. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
