Description

Given the following script, saved as enc_test.groovy

import org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration
println "File source encoding is probably set to " + CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT.getSourceEncoding()

I would assume all three executions below to print "UTF-8", but they don't:

$ groovy -c UTF-8 enc_test.groovy
File source encoding is probably set to MacRoman

$ groovy -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8 enc_test.groovy
File source encoding is probably set to MacRoman

$ groovysh -Dgroovy.source.encoding=UTF-8
groovy:000> org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT.getSourceEncoding()
===> UTF-8

The reason I was printing this info was to track down an encoding issue I had; turns out the -c flag actually works for me (i.e my sources are properly decoded) (while the -Dgroovy.source.encoding option doesn't), but I was looking for a way to ensure my scripts are executed with -c UTF-8, but the above snippet obviously doesn't help.
