I spent a number of hours trying to figure out why CPD wasn't working correctly when running from cron. Turns out, running from cron the encoding used was ANSI_X3.4-1968, while in a normal shell it was UTF-8.

It would've been quite helpful to know that not specifying an encoding would make it use the system default.

ignoreAnnotations also doesn't say what happens if it's not specified.
