Java Compilation error: unmappable character for encoding UTF-8

Some times we add java documentation & stuff through Eclipse or some text editor which might be causing a compilation error(unmappable character for encoding UTF-8). It can be solved using the <encoding> tag in the compiler plugin.

	<!-- Configure the compiler defaults -->
	<plugin>
	<groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>
	<artifactid>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactid>
	<version>2.3.2</version>
	<configuration>
	<source>1.6</source>
	<target>1.6</target>
	<encoding>Cp1252</encoding>
	</configuration>
	</plugin>
