Matt Benson commented on IVY-908:
---------------------------------
No Java process I've ever heard of has any support for cygwin. Java on cygwin
== Java on Windows. You can achieve portability either by basing everything
from the current directory (should be properly supported in the current
development line intended for release as Ivy 2.0) or injecting a base
directory; in either case the paths you feed Ivy are relative. Anything
absolute (not relative to a base directory) should be externally injected e.g.
with properties. I would call this report INVALID.
> 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).
