Web site project & relative paths in solution

[Prescott Nasser <ge...@hotmail.com>]

Hey all,
I've run into two issues.
1. If my solution includes web site projects, when attempting to generate POM files, i receive the error "The given path's format is not supported"
2. If I remove the web site projects, I still get an error "the path contains '..'". It seems like it's choking on the relative paths in the solution for some reason. Note my solution has to traverse up to locate other projects, ie project 1 is at "..\..\project1\project1.csproj" relative.
Any thoughts?

Hi Prescott,

Unfortunately I don't think that'll be supported by the project importer, but you could generate them for a similar project and then reconfigure the POMs for the other project. More info:
http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/docs/1.4.0-incubating/guide/reference/supported-dir-structures.html

This is just a matter of Maven working best with structures that don't traverse higher than the top level project.

Hope that makes sense!

Cheers,
Brett
