I'd opt for

    c) Use a configurable value, by default the current platform encoding.

Should be

  * Upwards compatible
  * Simplify the use of Maven for people who don't need to care for that value.
    (Most development teams have uniform development platforms, or at least
    uniform default encodings.)
  * Make reproducable builds possible for the rest.
