OK, but IDEs are not usually the problem (few edit code in notepad). I 
saw this in docs so we might need it in the doc guide.

Yes, please! I see heaps of:

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

in the resources and testResources phases under Maven 3. Be good to nail 
down the build properties warnings as well; if we do not then we will 
not notice when we do something that adds a new warning.

Kind regards,
