Hi Filip,
I have a vague recollection about tripping over this issue while working on the
Tomcat support in the Eclipse Web Tools Platform. WTP has its own version(s)
of VirtualWebappLoader, called WtpWebappLoader, to address it. If I'm
recalling the issue correctly, pre-pending "file:/" worked on Windows, but not
on Linux since an absolute path ended up as "file://somedir/...". I believe
with the change below, pre-pending "file://" will work for Linux, but not for
Windows, i.e. "file://C:/somedir/..." is going to have problems. If it helps,
I went with the URL form "file:/somedir/..." and used the following code
snippet to get it working for Windows and Linux in WtpWebappLoader:
String path = file.getAbsolutePath();
if (path.startsWith("/")) {
path = "file:" + path;
} else {
path = "file:/" + path;
}
if (file.isDirectory()) {
addRepository(path + "/");
} else {
addRepository(path);
}
Cheers,
Larry
