Hi,
I am contributing to Maven where we recently started efforts to unify the
handling of file encoding for all plugins that read source files [0]. As a
prerequisite, a plugin needs to expose a parameter for the user to configure the
employed file encoding. Considering the needs of projects with developers spread
all over the world like open-source software, it is apparent that relying on the
user's platform encoding does not deliver reliable results. Also, requiring
users to set the system property "file.encoding" on JVM startup is not feasible
(e.g. in embedded scenarios like IDEs).
The JavaCC Maven Plugin [1] can currently not provide such an option because the
underlying JavaCC API does support setting the encoding. Hence this issue is a
request for a new option in JavaCC to configure the file encoding of a grammar
file and the generated parser file. A similar question had arised some time ago
on the user mail list [2].
More precisely, some new parameter
-ENCODING <charset>
would be appreciated that JavaCC, JJTree and JJDoc would use to create an
InputStreamReader/OutputStreamWriter rather than a FileReader/FileWriter.
Kind regards,
Benjamin Bentmann
