I didn't realize the exact difference. I think I added the 'canonical'
versions, and the 'absolute' versions were implicit. They should
ofcourse be the same.
Is this correct:
/path/a/b/
/path/c symlinked to /path/a/b/
- absolute -> just makes a path absolute, preserving symlinks:
cwd = /path/c; absolute('target/') -> /path/c/target/
- canonical:
cwd = /path/c; canonical('target/') -> /path/a/b/target/
?
I don't know which version would be the correct one. I think maven2
internally uses Absolute paths to resolve $basedir, so I guess the eclipse
plugin should use that too.
