"Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-269 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-269 Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.3 Environment: maven-eclipse-plugin version 2.3 maven-war-plugin version 2.0.2 Reporter: Paul Spencer Priority: Minor I get a "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse when the <warSourceDirectory> of the maven-war-plugin starts with ${basedir}. If I remove the ${basedir}, the build is successful. If, as it appears, the war plugin uses different rules related to the prefixing a path with ${basedir}, then I consider it a bug because the configuration of <warSourceDirectory> is inconsistant with similar tags. Per Wayne Fay, I have log this issue against the Eclipse plugin.
