${basedir} variable makes portable builds overly difficult ----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3198 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3198 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Design, Patterns & Best Practices, Logging, POM, POM::Encoding, Profiles Affects Versions: 2.0.7 Reporter: Andrew J. Leer Attachments: SimpleTest21.tar, SimpleTest21.zip Using log4j.xml I tried to use the resource filtering mechanism of Maven2 to write log files to the directory: ${basedir}/logs (in windows) In the end the log files indeed do end up in the project directory, but not the ./log directory. Also the name of the log file becomes the path with all of the '\' (${file.seprator}'s taken out of it: For instance if the path to my log file was: "C:\dev\workspace\project\logs\project-1.0-dev_test.log" My log file would appear in ${basedir} and be called: "devworkspaceprojectlogsproject-1.0-dev_test.log" Thank you, Andrew J.
