Question

I am having a similar problem as Ant produces jsfl with backslashes instead of slashes except that I'm running under Maven.

I'd like to generate cross-platform paths relative to Maven's built-in property ${basedir}. The problem is that under Windows, ${basedir} resolves to a path containing Windows-style slashes. Is there an easy way for me to get ${basedir} into a form that always uses Unix-style slashes even under Windows?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Answering my own question:

Use ${file.separator} instead of slash and watch out for bug MEXEC-81 which was fixed in 2010 by git commit 6e8be6881fe50714a00509f8f106e21d50d606a6 (svn: 12372) which was where quotes and backslashes were misinterpreted.

OTHER TIPS

In the case of adding a dir to the library path, you are better off creating a new artifact with its own pom, installing it in your local repo and adding it as a dependency in the project.

Maven and Native Libraries: JDIC and java.library.path UPDATED goes into more detail about getting a native dependency into the library path.

Using native dependencies inside Maven Is another approach.
