I'm working on a project which involves maven, java and clojure. The problem I'm facing is this, I have some UTF-8
chars in my clojure source files because of which my source code is not interpreted correctly by the java compiler, I kinda got it working by setting the environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
, but what I want is to pass this property through MAVEN.
I have already tried setting MAVEN_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding
but this doesn't seem to work.
I have also tried setting configuration for the compiler plugin of maven... something like this:
<configuration>
<compilerArgument>-Dfile.encoding=UTF8</compilerArgument>
</configuration>
This doesn't work either.
I'm I doing something wrong, or is there another way.
thanks,
RD
Ok, Here's some more detail. This is my parent pom,
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding> <! also tried <encoding>UTF8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Nothing interesting in the child's pom except...
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/clojure</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
;; clojure code snippet which causes problems
(let [char "대"]
(not (empty? (filter #(s/contains? % char) <some-list>)))
;; The list is always empty because I never find a match if I do not set the env. variable
