It might not be a Maven issue. Remember, the native Z/OS encoding is Ebcdic, not Ascii/UTF-8 like most Unixes/Windows servers.
On second thought, it could be a Maven issue, I'm not sure how it uses the SAX parser to parse the various XML files at runtime. Basically, we traditionally see this at the top of a self-contained XML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> But this usually only works on Z/os if you FTP the XML file in binary mode from a Windows host for example. We support z/os for our clients and our configuration files are in XML. So when we want to be able to edit the files from the Z/os console, we FTP them in Ascii/Text mode (which converts them to EBCDIC), then we open them up in a text editor and change the first line to something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM-1047" ?> Note: I don't have a sample file handy for reference, I think it's IBM-1047 (Ebcdic) but I could be wrong. This is just a hunch. I think someone familar with the inner workings of Maven's XML parsing system would be able to say whether or not Maven is robust enough to work around this.

I have managed to setup the environment and invoke maven, and .maven/cache gets populated, but when I invoke a goal on my code base it complains of: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog. I feel this is a character set related issue, and haven't come across any solutions so far. Appreciate any pointers.
