I agree - it does seem like we should really be doing this by

Even chinese, hebrew and double byte languages will be good using
UTF-8 right? Is there a reason someone might want to set it to another
encoding / collation other than UTF-8? I cant think of one right
now...
@chas - from your previous post, are you saying your using maven on
the server for production?! or did you just mean jetty...?
Cheers
