Maven build failure due to encoding

[rj93]

I am trying to build this on Windows 7, but I am getting several errors due the encoding of the system (Cp1252)

The first of which is:

INFO  wordcloud.nlp.tokenizer.TestChineseWordTokenizer - Õ, ╝, ╣, Ú, ?, ô, Õ, », ╝, Õ, ╝, ╣
Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 2.829 sec <<< FAILURE!
test(wordcloud.nlp.tokenizer.TestChineseWordTokenizer)  Time elapsed: 2.727 sec  <<< FAILURE!
java.lang.AssertionError: expected:<1> but was:<12>

and the second (when building ignoring tests):

Intersting. I'm wondering if this is a Windows specific issue.

[kennycason]

Can you try some of these solutions? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9976616/maven-platform-encoding

[rj93]

This fixed the issue:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Thanks!
