Path for "filters" parameter is relative to the place from where the build was 
run

                 Key: MRESOURCES-151
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-151
             Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: filtering
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: Julien HENRY
            Priority: Minor


I am using copy-resources goal in a multi-module project with the following 
configuration in a child module:
{code:xml}
<configuration>
        <filters>
                <filter>src/main/filters/filter.properties</filter>
        </filters>
</configuration>
{code}

The filter path is resolved differently depending on the place from where I run 
the build (root aggregator project or child module).
The workaround is to always give absolute path using basedir property:

{code:xml}
<configuration>
        <filters>
                <filter>${basedir}/src/main/filters/filter.properties</filter>
        </filters>
</configuration>
{code}

What is confusing is that the first configuration works fine in the global 
filter definition:
{code:xml}
<build>
        <filters>
                <filter>src/main/filters/filter.properties</filter>
        </filters>
</build>
{code}

Could you please make the behavior more consistent or at least put a warning in 
documentation of the "filters" parameter.
