Property values with \ukjhfksjhs sequences, ie. windows paths, are not escaped. Seems the same problem is in native2ascii program, but that is removed from newer java implementations while the syntax of Properties remained same and this causes exceptions.

Problem: when releasing a version, packages are signed with GPG keys, but these packages do not exist yet. That causes that uploaded jar files are not uploaded with their asc files and Sonatype repo refuses to close the repository.

Version 2.0.0 was released without javadoc and sources - it is not a problem, because in this case the files are not useful for developers, but it would be more correct to have also these files in Maven Central.

We are trying to use this plugin with a parallel Maven build. But it seems that the threadSafe Annotation is missing in the native2ascii Mojos.

In Windows plugin throws PatternSyntaxException.
Native2AsciiMojoTest.testFile failed.

There are security vulnerabilities with the following transitive dependencies
• Group: org.apache.struts Artifact: struts-core Version: 1.3.8
• Group: org.apache.velocity Artifact: velocity Version: 1.7

Unfortunately, there is no way to override with a higher version of these dependencies since there isn't one available. Is there a suggested workaround so I can avoid using these dependencies?

It looks like to fix the issue, you need to switch to struts2-core and velocity-engine-core.

Hi, thank you for supporting this plugin!

I'd like to suggest a little improvement: could we make make the output is more readable/easy to understand from the first sight?

Compare the output from the old plugin:

The differences are:

• more messages
• messages are longer

I'd suggest something like that:

[INFO] --- native2ascii-maven-plugin:2.0.1:resources (utf8-to-latin1) @ mystamps ---
[INFO] Includes: [**/*.properties]
[INFO] Excludes: []
[INFO] Source Dir: src/main/resources/ru/mystamps/i18n
[INFO] Target Dir: target/classes/ru/mystamps/i18n
[INFO] Converting: Messages.properties
[INFO] Converting: Messages_ru.properties

WDYT?
