unmappable character for encoding Cp1252

[robertwynkoop]

Why do I have to edit the main pom to change encoding? If I do not edit, mvn install fails.

I had to add <encoding>UTF-8</encoding> to the maven-compiler-plugin plugin section.

Code: Select all

<configuration>
  <source>1.6</source>
  <target>1.6</target>
  <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>         
</configuration>

I have not seen this issue before. What is the stack trace that you get so other people can find this via Google?
