yes, that would have been a single file solution only. However, the real 
problem is, that some people commit files with wrong encoding. If you tell 
Maven that the file *is* UTF-8, then you have to ensure, that only files in 
this encoding can be committed at all e.g. in Subversion using a commit 
hook.

The problem is the *detection*. We normally force ASCII. This is fine for 
all kind of source code and easy to detect. If some non-ASCII character has 
to be in the code, you can always encode it with a Unicode notation (e.g. 
\uXXXX). This is true for Java, property files, JavaScript, XML, HTML, ...
