Maven Xtend compiler - file encoding [message #764207]

There is probably an issue with file encoding in the maven-xtend-compiler.

Because xtext uses guillemot brackets («»), all my xtend files are in ISO-8859-1 encoding. Running the maven-xtend-compiler on Windows works fine, but on the Linux build the guillemot characters are not recognized. I think the xtend-compiler on Linux should be forced to read the files in ISO-8859-1 encoding.

This can be solved by calling the compiler (org.eclipse.xtext.xtend2.compiler.batch.Main) with a jvm parameter for the encoding, e.g. -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1.

Regards
Matthijs

Please file a bugzilla. I don't think we want to enforce an encoding
(And if it would be UTF-8). But it should be simple to configure the
encoding just for the Xtend compiler.

I am running the batch compiler through maven using the tend-maven-plugin. Below an excerpt from my pom
What do I use in configuration to ensure the right file encoding

<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.xtend</groupId>
<artifactId>xtend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/xtend-gen</outputDirectory>

</configuration>
