MVN does not use UTF-8 encoding

Ok, this is a strange problem: I have a java test file that uses some UTF-8 characters. When I compile it with Maven using

mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dproject.build.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 test

(thus setting both the perceived platform encoding and the encoding of the source file, see maven platform encoding ) I get something like

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

When I compile a file with

javac path/to/file.java

I get similar errors:

path/to/file.java:42: unclosed character literal
    illegalCharEnc('ä');
                   ^

    illegalCharDec('ö');
                      ^
6 errors

Now when i use

javac -encoding UTF-8 path/to/file.java

cannot find symbol - . , , javac UTF-8 Maven ( , Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources. compiler:testCompile -). ? - ? ? - ? , UTF-8, .
