Add support for encoding option in JAX-WS tools ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-3826 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3826 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Feature Request Components: jaxws-tools-maven-plugin, jbossws-cxf, tools-jaxws Reporter: Alessio Soldano Assignee: Alessio Soldano Fix For: jbossws-cxf-5.0 This relates to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2450 . Basically, unless the encoding option of cxf tools is specified, both cxf and xjc rely on the system encoding setup, defaulting to UTF-8 if nothing is set at system level. On system with a specific encoding (e.g. Windows installed w/ Italian language), the "file.encoding" system property is set to a value different from UTF-8 (ISO-8859-1 for the italian setup). This can lead to generating sources which can't then be compiled using a more restrictive encoding like UTF-8. Generally speaking it would hence be good to allow users specifying the desired encoding for the sources to be generated.
