Summary: CPD ANT task attribute description misleading

Initial Comment:
The CPD ANT task documentation ( http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html ) has the following description for the "encoding" attribute:

    The character set encoding (e.g., UTF-8) to use when reading the source code files; defaults to locale setting.

It is also used when writing the output file too.  This single line is confusing and leads to trial and error playing and/or browsing source code to figure out correct usage.
