SettingsBuilder internally converts network paths to local paths and is
therefore preventing the use of network profiles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2662
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2662
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: Windows XP, Domain-Environment, Network User-Profile
Reporter: Daniel Bechler
Priority: Minor
Attachments: patch.diff
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended but the DefaultMavenSettingsBuilder
converts paths like "\\server\username\.m2\settings.xml" to "<Current
Drive>:\server\username\.m2\settings.xml". This prevented us from using the
default user.home because our userprofiles are located on another server and
are referenced by "\\" network paths. It would've been quite complicated to
change the user.home system property for all developers, so we fixed the
problem by removing a regular expression that replaced double backslashes by
only one, followed by calling "new File(path).getAbsolutePath()" which added
the current drive letter to the path and converted it to a local path this way.
I don't know the reason for removing double backslashes from the beginning but
at least i didn't recognize any problems with my changes yet. It would be nice
if somebody could tell me what the regexp was intended for. I attached a patch
to this posting and hope it helps!
