Not only for java source but for any text. Blindly converting java sources to ascii can introduce bugs, since - unlike C and C++ - you are allowed to use non-ascii characters in variable names and other identifiers in java sources. Even if non-ascii characters are only present in comments, those may end up in the javadoc documentation, so converting to ascii is likely to introduce documentation bugs. Better fix the broken build instructions to correctly state what encoding is used by the project. E.g. by adding <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> to the pom-file, or add -Dproject.build.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 to the build on the command line.
