I was having some bizarre issues where the jar plugin was grabbing everything in my project folder as a resource, and I finally tracked it down to a problem with the '/' vs. the '\' in a directory. By default, maven.build.dir is set to something like the following: C:\mySource\currentDirectory/target. Notice how every part of the path has a '\' except the last part. When the jar plugin called maven:copy-resources, it apparently truncated off the '/target' portion at some point and left it at my base directory...not what I wanted. Up until this point, I had generally been specifying all of my paths with forward slashes whenever I could, but now I'm a bit concerned that there might be more issues like this. Is it okay for me to specify paths with forward slashes (and this is just a bug), or I should I try and avoid mixing the two up? I haven't put the issue in JIRA, yet...figured I'd wait until they finish (or stop) the move.
