Description

Failsafe plugin reports a WARNING if 

 
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>

is not set. The FAQ only suggests to set the 

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

Herve Boutemy added a comment -

output encoding defaults to UTF-8, which is a perfectly reproducible value (contrary to source encoding which defaults to platform encoding)
see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Reporting+Encoding+Configuration

then setting project.reporting.outputEncoding is absolutely not necessary, particularly if you choose UTF-8 like the default value

it wouldn't be a good practice to add this unnecessary property

If failsafe reports a warning, then the plugin should be fixed: please create an issue with a test-case. I'll be happy to fix the plugin
