Configuration for different report encodings (other than UTF-8)
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MCOBERTURA-85
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOBERTURA-85
             Project: Maven 2.x Cobertura Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sasha


The Cobertura patch 1670817 implements the possibility to specify the encoding 
for the java source code files. This is absolutely necessary if the Java source 
code uses encoding other than UTF-8. See 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=720017&aid=1670817&group_id=130558

It would be nice if everybody would use UTF-8, this is however not always 
possible; i.e. due to Microsoft's dominance (:-)) many people use unconciously 
the so called ANSI (Windows-1252) unofficial "standard". When writing code 
(better to say comments) in other languages than english, the  Cobertura report 
output (that utilizes UTF-8) is hardly readable.

Hence, it is highly desirable if somebody would implement asap an appropriate 
patch for the maven cobertura plugin where with a new configuration option the 
user can specify the source character set (the default remains UTF-8).

{code}
... 
       <configuration>
          <formats>
            <format>...</format>
          </formats>
          <charset>CP1252</charset>
       </configuration>
...
{code}
