Herve Boutemy updated MNG-2216:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
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:

{code:xml}<defaultEncodings>
    <!-- Default: UTF-8 -->
    <inputEncoding>UTF-8</inputEncoding>
    <!-- Will be the same with inputEncoding if not specified. -->
    <outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
</defaultEncodings>{code}

2) Make encoding properties in all plugins to be consistent and deprecate old 
properties.  The default values could be:

{noformat}inputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.input}
outputEncoding = ${pom.encoding.output}{noformat}

so users can override the default settings easily.
