Description

Look at the attached example POM.

Do you see many duplicate configuration properties ('UTF-8') in it? and the names of properties are very inconsistent.

It would be great if:

1) Add a global section which specifies default encodings:

<defaultEncodings>
<!-- Default: UTF-8 -->
<inputEncoding>UTF-8</inputEncoding>
<!-- Will be the same with inputEncoding if not specified. -->
<outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
</defaultEncodings>

2) Make encoding properties in all plugins to be consistent and deprecate old properties. The default values could be:

inputEncoding = $

{pom.encoding.input}

outputEncoding = $

{pom.encoding.output}

so users can override the default settings easily.
