Gili updated MNG-4713:
----------------------
Description:
Please reopen MNG-3198. I believe that Brett misunderstood what Jochen wrote.
There is no simple workaround with the current Maven implementation. Jochen was
saying that Maven should use unix-style slashes under Windows for the sake of
portability and let users convert to Windows-style slashes themselves if they
wish to use an external script.
Simple use-case: try passing a $\{basedir\}-relative path into the
"java.library.path" property. It's impossible to do this portably under Maven's
existing implementation.
