site:deploy unable to utilize UNC paths
---------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-318
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-318
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: site:deploy
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
Environment: Windows XP
Reporter: Josh Peters
Priority: Minor
Currently under windows, a UNC path (even one represented as a file:// URL)
cannot be written to. There seems to be something in the guts of Ant and Maven
that doesn't understand how to treat UNC paths as valid paths.
In an effort to avoid the "wontfix" status: mapping the UNC path as a network
drive is effective but terribly kludgey as a long-term solution. Different
developers in an organization _may_ have drives already mapped to something
else. Given a vanilla Windows network, UNC paths may be the best choice for
deploying sites.
Leaving this as a minor bug since it mainly affects internal projects of an
organization, but it is an important one as it can keep folks from adopting
Maven for use in corporate environments.
