Converting line endings corrupts ISO-8859-1 files when platform encoding is
UTF-8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-371
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-371
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2
Environment: Linux with platform encoding set to UTF-8
Reporter: Håvard Wigtil
Attachments: assembly-encoding.zip
Converting line endings for a text file encoded in ISO-8859-1 replaces any
character in the set above ASCII with the three characters ï¿.
What happens is that the file to be converted is read as text in the platform
encoding (seems to be method readFile in class FileFormatter), and when the
platform encoding is UTF-8, any non-ASCII character from ISO-8859-1 is
converted to the UTF-8 character "�" (i.e. the placeholder for unknown /
broken character).
I've attached a small sample project that shows this problem on Linux with
platform encoding set to UTF-8.
I see two possible fixes for this, one is to read the file as bytes and do a
search /replace for line endings, and the other is to be able to specify
encoding for a fileset or file.
