> Affects Versions: 2.1.1

> Reporter: Mirko Friedenhagen

> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0

> As stated in http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-guessing-no-ext-info XML files
> without a BOM and without a XML encoding declaration should read the XML as
> UTF-8.
> {{help:effective-pom}} does use the platform encoding for writing the
> effective-pom without emitting an appropriate XML encoding declaration in the
> resulting XML file.
> I have created a small sample project (available at
> https://github.com/mfriedenhagen/invalidpom, attached as ZIP) which will
> reproduce the issue.
> While the parent pom
> (https://raw.github.com/mfriedenhagen/invalidpom/master/pom.xml) has a XML
> encoding declaration,
> https://raw.github.com/mfriedenhagen/invalidpom/master/child-invalid/pom.xml
> has none.
> Now running:
> {code}
> mvn -s settings.xml -gs settings.xml clean validate
> {code}
> will produce an invalid character for the developer name "Jörg" in
> {{child-invalid}}.
> Two workarounds are:
> * to include a XML encoding declaration as done in {{child-valid}}.
> * to use {{JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS}} on Windows as stated in
> http://stackoverflow.com/a/623036/49132
> * to use {{MAVEN_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=utf-8 mvn -s settings.xml -gs
> settings.xml clean validate}}.
> Nonetheless I consider this a Major bug, as it clearly violates the
> recommendations of W3C.
