Question

When building using Maven on my mac, on mvn install i get

[WARNING] Using platform encoding (MacRoman actually) to copy filtered
resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!

Is it possible to either build for a given platform (Linux) or otherwise make build platform independent?

Answer 1

It happens when you have not provided following in your pom.xml

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Absence of this means you are using platform specific encoding and that’s why the warning.
