Description

Taking the project.xml from "maven genapp" as a starting point, I tried to introduce myself as the project owner:

<!-- details about the organization that 'owns' the project -->
<organization>

which generates "Lars K??hne" in the copyright footer. In my view this shouldn't happen, as the xml file encoding is ISO-8859-1, where ? is a character just like a, b, c, etc.

As a workaround I tried to use

<name><![CDATA[Lars Kühne]]

Is this still an issue?

In CVS HEAD, the simian plugin has one an non UTF char in it.

Can you supply a sample project.xml?

Added the full project.xml as requested.

Where can I download the nightly build to see if the problem has been fixed in CVS?

When I download the file, the name has

<name>Lars K??hne</name>

in it.

Got a better one? Or is there some mangling going on?

Send it to me via dion@apache.org if you like.

Yes, there was some mangling going on. It is probably not such a good idea to have UTF-8 as your system encoding (default in RH9) and then declaring the encoding to be latin1 in your xml file.

I changed my system encoding to ISO-8859-1, retyped the umlaut in the project.xml file and rebuilt the site. Now everything is fine, you can close this issue as "Invalid".

Lesson learnt: With problems like this open the file in a hex editor and check the real file content.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the noise.

Problem gets fixed by changing system encoding, eg on FC3: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
We'll document that in a FAQ.
