Maven print illegal characters instead of accented characters

This XML structure should be OK i think:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    ...
    <name>áéééöüúű</name>

If this XML is opened in an XML viewer, or a simple browser gives a fine result, but executing a mvn command result:

[INFO] Building ßÚÚÚ÷Ř˙ű 0.6

Do not get how can i force mvn to print in proper way these characters. Any idea? Or is it not possible maybe (without rewriting the source)?

It looks from your comments that you're using Windows. Windows command line doesn't not support UTF-8 nor (paradoxically) Windows-XXXX encodings.

Use -Dfile.encoding=cp852 (or -Dfile.encoding=cp850, or -Dfile.encoding=cp437, or any other of these).

Might be your default system encoding is a single byte encoding. Try and tell Maven explicitly to use UTF-8 via the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable by adding -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to it.
