It doesn't matter if you ues forward or backslashes, actually.
I would recommend using 'location' instead of 'value' for that particular
<property> task though - I always use location when dealing with file or
directory paths. Also, I'd recommend not hard-coding an absolute path into
a build file - pull it out to a properties file.
As for the problem you're having with colons - I don't know - I've never
experienced such problems, and I mostly use Windows platforms for my
development.
