[jira] Commented: (MRESOURCES-76) FilteringUtils escapeWindowsPath() doesn't work on Windows

["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-76?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=152314#action_152314 ] 

Benjamin Bentmann commented on MRESOURCES-76:
---------------------------------------------

I believe the motivation for this escaping was the use case of filtering properties files, where backslash and colon have special meanings.

> The method escapeWindowsPath() is replacing  colon by backslash + colon.
> I.e.
> D:\temp
> is escaped as
> D\:\\temp
> But windows doesn't recognize that.  If you try to open D\:\\temp on explorer, will not work.
> Even java.io.File is not able to handle that too.  The attached test proves it.
> I'm not sure why this backslash was add to colon, but commenting line 44 of org.apache.maven.shared.filtering.FilteringUtils make the test work.
