Vincent Siveton commented on MSITE-287:
---------------------------------------
I don't remember why our own standard is UTF-8, maybe brett does. My guess is
that it was a known limitation due to the old MSITE-19.
Anyway, I am in favour to change it to ISO-8859-1 with unicode escapes.
> Clarify/fix documentation about encoding for translated resource bundles.

> Key: MSITE-287
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-287
> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
> Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> According to http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/i18n.html
> translators are expected to provide their properties files in UTF-8 encoding.
> However, the JRE reads properties files using ISO-8859-1 encoding (see [class
> javadoc for
> PropertyResourceBundle|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/PropertyResourceBundle.html]).
> Either the documentation should be fixed to state ISO-8859-1 or it should be
> made clear why Maven requires another encoding than usual.
