Me too. That's why I tested on Linux with backslashes in the path..

I was started to assume that there was a bug in Maven while in fact the
JRE
was a fault. Seems kind of odd that it doesn't work both ways. One would
think that Sun would have taken care of that. Anyway, problem solved.


Yeah, thats why I said "you can just use *forward slash* for paths."
Backslashes are not platform neutral in Java.

Thank you for your little test.
