> First, it's incredible how long it takes until one can submit an issue here ... searching for the right place, then registering ... takes substantially longer than filing the issue itself. Pretty annoying.
> Error description: when doing an "mvn compile", dots in directory names are replaced by slashes. Now you can't just copy & paste the file name anymore to the shell to do a  "vi <middle-mouse-button", for instance, but you have to undo maven's replacement by changing back the "/" to "." whereever needed.
> Example:
> [ERROR] /data/people/XXXX/MINECRAFT/WORLD/TARZAN/1/8/src/spigot-1/8/3/Spigot/Spigot-Server/src/main/java/org/spigotmc/Metrics.java:[142] blahfurz cannot be resolved to a variable
> The directory names are "WORLD.TARZAN.1.8" and "spigot-1.8.3".
> And NO, telling me to "well, don't use dots in directory names" or "well, don't use vi, use one of the fancy IDEs around" is not an option for me, thanks a lot.
