This is the output after calling "mvn help:effective-pom install" using
"${project.build.directory}"

[...]
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>test2</id>
      <phase>install</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>exec</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <executable>echo</executable>

<commandlineArgs>D:\development\projects\test\target</commandlineArgs>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
[...]
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.1:exec (test2) @ test ---
[INFO] D:developmentprojectstesttarget



I changed my configuration and used the correct Windows-path directly:
<commandlineArgs>D:\development\projects\test\target</commandlineArgs>

And the output is still wrong.


Next I changed "\" to "/":
<commandlineArgs>D:/development/projects/test/target</commandlineArgs>

And now I get the complete path:
"[INFO] D:/development/projects/test/target"


Looks like a bug inside the exec-maven-plugin, which filters all "\"
characters.


Kind regards,
Lars
