Provide specific default value for "encoding" parameter
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAVADOC-165
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-165
Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Minor
Attachments: source-encoding.patch
As stated in the [javadoc
doc|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#encoding],
the parameter "encoding" defaults to the platform's default encoding if not
specified. This might be a convenient feature when running javadoc directly
from the console prompt (less typing) but I consider this harmful for an
automated build. The platform's default encoding might easily differ between
machines/developers, causing unreliable build output.
Please see the related issue MCOMPILER-63 for further explanations.
