Description

My resources are encoded in ISO-8859-1. I have specified encoding in the pom:

<project.build.sourceEncoding>ISO-8859-1</project.build.sourceEncoding>

I have written a custom assembly file and I am using resource filtering.

...
<fileSet>
	<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/</directory>
	<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
	<filtered>true</filtered>
</fileSet>
...

As a result all the french characters are broken in the resulting zip assembly. My platform is Linux so the default platform encoding is UTF-8.

I have checked plugin code and I think I found the issue. This is in FileFormatter.java, method doFileFilter():

            configSource.getMavenFileFilter().copyFile( source, target, true, configSource.getProject(),
                    configSource.getFilters(), isPropertiesFile, null, configSource.getMavenSession() );

You can see that enconding is set to null, so I think it means using default platform encoding... Would it be possible to use value of project.build.sourceEncoding instead?
