> Maven filtering provides an encoding parameter to set encoding used when
> reading/writing files. But war plugin uses null value, which means platform
> encoding... Sorry, encoding support won't be totally "free" ;)
> I added TODOs in the code.
> For web.xml and container config XML file, I set encoding to UTF-8, which is a
> better default value than platform encoding.
> For other filtered resources, you'll need to add an encoding attribute to
> o.a.m.model.Resource class, to let the user define which encoding he wants to
> use when filtering. Perhaps using project.build.sourceEncoding as a default
> value is a good idea.
> Seems like this is worth a Jira issue to track this new feature.
