JAXB and unmappable character for encoding UTF-8

Using locale specific characters in schema or wsdl (i.e. for documentation purpose) is still quite problematic. Especially if you are using JAXB to generate wsdl2java java classes. Because JAXB uses default system encoding and classes are usually compiled in UTF-8 special chars in java comments resolves in compilations error:

/url/to/file/SomeFile.java:[11,12] unmappable character for encoding UTF-8 A workaround to this problem is to isolate wsdl2java code generation in a dedicated maven module and to configure the compiler plugin to use OS dependant encoding:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <encoding>${file.encoding}</encoding>
        </configuration>
</plugin>
