Maarten Coene commented on IVY-908:
-----------------------------------
You can already use "/" as path separator at the moment, you just have to be
sure it isn't a relative path.
On windows, relative paths start with "/" or "\", as your test demonstrates
So, if you use "/path/to/repository" in your settings.xml on windows, Ivy will
complain that it is not an absolute path.
Even if you use cygwin (which also runs on window), Ivy will complain, because
the windows JVM doesn't know you run it from cygwin
If you want your settings.xml to be portable between unix and windows, you'll
have to use properties in your paths, like "${keyFile.dir}/pub-keyfile" instead
of "/path/to/keyfile/pub-keyfile". Than you give this keyFile.dir a different
value on unix and on windows
> UNIX-style filenames for paths to work on MS-Windows

> Key: IVY-908
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-908
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
> Environment: cywgin on MS Wondows.
> Reporter: Andy Seaborne
> Priority: Minor
>
> A file name /path/to/repository is not absolute on MS-Windows. A drive
> letter is needed.
> This is particularly confusing if using cygwin but is true when using Windows
> without cygwin ("/" is an acceptable path separator).
> Leads to less portability between Linux and Windows.
> In 2.0-RC-1, more paths must be absolute (e.g filesystem resolver artifact
> pattern, keyfile to sftp resolver).
