Problem

The following two encoding test don't work anymore:

JcrImportCommandTest#yamlImportUtf8IsNotDefaultPlatformEncoding()
InspectorTest#dumpString()

Cause

This issue was caused when moving the main pipeline to AWS and let to igno
The base cause of the issue is that maven uses the platform encoding which is "ANSI_X3.4-1968".

Idea 1: Change platform encoding to UTF-8

Although this would seem the most straight forward solution it turned out to be more complicated. The locale and encoding on AWS instances is already configured to be "en_US.UTF-8" and playing around with those configurations had no effect on the encoding used by maven.

Idea 2: Set encoding on maven explicitly

The MAVEN_OPTS in the global tools configuration of maven does not seem to be used in pipelines. The maven configuration has to be explicitly configured but should work otherwise.

Solution

What actually worked was Idea 1! See comments below to see why it seemed to not work.
