Yep.

You are welcome to add that to the developers guide source code section if you like; right now it is just mentioned as part of the maven introduction.

I also note the following warning:

Mac:

[WARNING] Using platform encoding (MacRoman actually) to read mojo metadata, i.e. build is platform dependent!

Linux:

[WARNING] Using platform encoding (UTF-8 actually) to copy filtered resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!

Can we lock this down somehow in our parent pom?
