MavenSCM and Perforce under Windows: No backslashes in clientspec allowed

[mt...@gmx.net]

Hi all,

the scm:checkout using the perforce provider  doesn't seem to work
under windows (same pom and mvn command works under linux). Though
error output does not give a direct hint (see below), the reason is
most likely that the dynamically generate clientspec has backslashes
in its name, which is not supported in  perforce. I tried to create
one with backslashes manually, but perforce told me it was an illegal
character.

Is this issue known?

The funny thing is, that backslashes are not listed in perforce's
illegal characters, but slashes are...
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.061/manuals/p4guide/03_using.html#1065764

Anyway, using the p4win tool it's vice versa, but I'd say what the
link above wants to say is that you should not use path separators in
perforce identifiers in general.


Here the ouput (run with --errors --debug):
