2.3 escapes characters when filtering properties
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MRESOURCES-81
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-81
             Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.3
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: Paul Jackson


When filtering a property additional escaping characters are inserted into the 
replacement text.  Here's an example pom snippett:

    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>Automated-Testing-Windows</id>
            <properties>
                <server.resource.type>nt</server.resource.type>
                
<server.remote.base.dir>D:\\AutomatedTesting</server.remote.base.dir>
                
<server.remote.temp.dir>${server.remote.base.dir}\\temp</server.remote.temp.dir>
            </properties>
        </profile>
  <build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources/${server.resource.type}</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
    </resources>
    <resources>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>resources</id>
            <phase>process-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>resources</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/resources</outputDirectory>
              <includeEmptyDirectories>true</includeEmptyDirectories>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

and the following line of text in a file in src\main\resources\nt
 cd /d ${server.remote.temp.dir}

Resources plug in version 2.2 filters this property as follows:
cd /d D:\\AutomatedTesting\\temp

Resources plug in version 2.3 filters this property differently:
cd /d D\:\\\\AutomatedTesting\\\\temp

Notice the extra backslashes inserted before each backslash (minor issue) and 
colon (major issue).  Is there a way to prevent maven from inserting these 
escape characters?
 
I also checked out 2.4-SNAPSHOT revision 732027 and observed the same behavior.

Thanks,
-Paul
