Description
Posting to the maven-users list:
We face encoding problems with the Maven-Reports. The output is declared to be ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1), but it actually isn't (neither the XML nor the HTML). Non-ASCII characters like German umlauts are not transcoded properly.
I noticed the same problem in the docs of the official maven tasklist plugin at http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/reference/plugins/tasklist/checkstyle/, e.g.: La variable 'destDir' devrait être privée et avoir des accesseurs.
When I set maven.docs.outputencoding to UTF-8 it is even worse: The transformation then makes apparently two wrong bytes out of every single byte of the aready erroneous transcoded characters.
I've not found any hint in the docs or in Jira so far; can somebody please shed some light on it for me?
I'm using Maven 1.1 beta 1.

For javadoc, did you try to set the maven.javadoc.locale property? If this works then we should set the default to maven.xdoc.locale.default.
In the jxr plugin, the maven.compile.encoding property from the java plugin is used (I think this is undocumented 
), can you try if this helps?
Any other reports you have troubles with?

Follow-Up on the mailing list:
I finally found something I consider a workaround for the checkstyle report (I already use the 3.0-SNAPSHOT of the plugin) and the xdocs:
I'v changed the locale settings on my SuSE 9.1 system like that
export LANG=de_DE.utf8
export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8
(setting of LC_CTYPE was necessary aswell)
and set the following Maven properties:
maven.docs.outputencoding=UTF-8
maven.xdoc.locale.default=de_DE.utf8
Now the German umlauts are displayed correctly within the checkstyle report and the documents generated out of the xdocs (like index.xml). However, other reports like Javadoc, Source Xref and Test Xref still suffer from wrong encoded characters.
