无法为maven配置native2ascii插件

Question

I have En-Jp.properties file for automating some test cases in Japanese locale, which has English words as key & Japanese words (ASCII) as value. Something like this:

Login:\u30ed\u30b0\u30a4\u30f3

I first tried with Java's native2ascii tool for 2-3 words of Japanese which is working fine. Now when this file is growing with n-number of key-value pair. I tried using native2ascii-maven-plugin , configuring as described here .

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
     <artifactId>native2ascii-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <configuration>
         <src>src/main/resources</src>
         <dest>target/classes</dest>
     </configuration>
     <executions>
         <execution>
             <id>native2ascii-utf8</id>
             <goals>
                 <goal>native2ascii</goal>
             </goals>
             <configuration>
                 <encoding>UTF8</encoding>
                 <includes>En-jp.properties</includes>
             </configuration>
         </execution>
     </executions>
 </plugin> 

However, I am getting below error,

Unable to parse configuration of mojo

org.codehaus.mojo:native2ascii-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-1:native2ascii for parameter includes: Cannot assign configuration entry 'includes' with value 'En-jp.properties' of type java.lang.String to property of type java.lang.String[]

What is missing in pom.xml ? Is the version of plugin too old to work for this scenario? I am also doubtful if I am following right path (using Maven plugin) for getting ASCII value for entire properties file.

Answer 1

The tag <includes> should contain a list of element, not a single element. That means you need to add <include> subtag to this tag.

It should be:

<includes>
    <include>En-jp.properties</include>
</includes>
