Specifying a character encoding scheme

A character encoding scheme such as ASCII, UTF-8 or UTF-16 can be chosen to be used for the reading and writing of files.

For example, if we want to specify that the character encoding scheme be UTF-8, we would simply have to configure that as in the following example:

<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>templating-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
