Another solution to work around this problem is to keep the default encoding and encode special characters with embedded unicode chars by using \u

Example:

public class TestUnicode
{
  private static char UNICODE_UE = '\u00FC';

  @Test
  public void unicodeOut()
  {
    System.out.println("Hans im Gl"+UNICODE_UE+"ck");
  }
}

We've introduced a new configuration parameter to set the 'encoding' for all sources of a project. http://axonivy.github.io/project-build-plugin/snapshot/6.3/compileProject-mojo.html#encoding

It is yet only possible to use this feature if you use the latest SNAPSHOT release of the project-build-plugin plus a nightly engine: http://developer.axonivy.com/dev-releases/nightly.html

We'd love to get feedback if this works for your project:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>com.axonivy.ivy.ci</groupId>
    <artifactId>project-build-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>6.3.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
        <engineListPageUrl>http://developer.axonivy.com/dev-releases/nightly.html</engineListPageUrl>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

you will also need a configuration to use sonatype snapshot repository in order to get this release:

<pluginRepositories>
        <!-- Snapshot releases are not deployed to maven central. So the repo on sonatype could be used instead -->
        <pluginRepository>
            <id>sonatype</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
            <snapshots>
                <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
            </snapshots>
        </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
