I try to generate java classes from xsd in a maven project using cxf-xjc-plugin.
It runs fine, but the generated source files get platform specific encoding (cp1251 on a windows pc) instead of utf-8. If any xsd types contain non-latin characters in schema annotations, then they become readable only in that specific encoding and the compiler later complains with [WARNING] /C:/.../SomeType.java:[17,4] unmappable character for encoding UTF-8
.
Please help me force utf-8 for sources generation.
The source encoding is set with
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
The build plugin is set up like that:
<build>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-xjc-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>

after having read through some older issues with xjc, particularly CXF-4369 and JAXB-499 I tried to force encoding with maven project property <file.encoding>utf-8</file.encoding>
and set a system property while running mvn -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 clean install
, but got nowhere.
I could make cxf-xjc-plugin generate sources in UTF-8 by adding the following entry to the xsdOption element:
<extensionArgs>
<arg>-encoding</arg>
<arg>UTF-8</arg>
</extensionArgs>
