Description
Background:
The JVM and class libraries are not forgiving if you attempt to filter a resource with an incorrect encoding.
For example, if a file contains an invalid UTF-8 character sun.io.ByteToCharUTF8 throws a MalformedInputException.
The resource plugin in this scenario reports (in trace with mvn -X) "Error copying resource", but with no indication which file or even which set of resources in the project caused the error.
With very large number of resources (in my case, several thousand files), it is challenging to find the corrupted/incorrectly encoded file.
Suggested improvement is more contextual information in the debug output.
