Description

avro-maven-plugin generates java sources using system default encoding which is not good if maven project sources' encoding is different (which is often true on OS with non-UTF-8 system encoding like OSX and Windows) as generated files encoding differs from the rest of the project sources.

It would be great if avro-maven-plugin used the project.build.sourceEncoding property for generated sources.
