    copied!<p>Ok, this is a weird problem: I have a java test file that uses some UTF-8 characters. When I compile it with Maven, using</p> <pre><code>mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dproject.build.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 test </code></pre> <p>(thus setting both the perceived platform encoding and the source file encoding, see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9976616/maven-platform-encoding">maven platform encoding</a>) I get something like</p> <pre><code>[INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building project [INFO] task-segment: [test] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [resources:resources {execution: default-resources}] [INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources. [INFO] skip non existing resourceDirectory path/src/main/resources [INFO] [compiler:compile {execution: default-compile}] [INFO] Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date [INFO] [resources:testResources {execution: default-testResources}] [INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources. [INFO] skip non existing resourceDirectory path/src/test/resources [INFO] [compiler:testCompile {execution: default-testCompile}] [INFO] Compiling 7 source files to path/target/test-classes [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Compilation failure path/to/file.java:[42,23] unclosed character literal path/to/file.java:[42,25] ';' expected path/to/file.java:[42,26] unclosed character literal path/to/file.java:[47,23] unclosed character literal path/to/file.java:[47,25] illegal character: \182 path/to/file.java:[47,26] unclosed character literal </code></pre> <p>When I compile the file with </p> <pre><code>javac path/to/file.java </code></pre> <p>I get similar errors: </p> <pre><code>path/to/file.java:42: unclosed character literal illegalCharEnc('ä'); ^ path/to/file.java:42: ';' expected illegalCharEnc('ä'); ^ path/to/file.java:42: unclosed character literal illegalCharEnc('ä'); ^ path/to/file.java:47: unclosed character literal illegalCharDec('ö'); ^ path/to/file.java:47: illegal character: \182 illegalCharDec('ö'); ^ path/to/file.java:47: unclosed character literal illegalCharDec('ö'); ^ 6 errors </code></pre> <p>Now when I use </p> <pre><code>javac -encoding UTF-8 path/to/file.java </code></pre> <p>instead, I get <code>cannot find symbol</code> errors, because of the missing dependencies. So I figure the problem is that <code>javac</code> is not called with UTF-8 option in Maven when compiling tests (notice how <code>Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.</code> is missing in <code>compiler:testCompile</code>-section). Is this conclusion correct? Am I missing something? Is this a known problem? Anything I can do about it? Obviously, the platform encoding on my system is not UTF-8, but I currently cannot change that.</p>
