>                 Key: MSITE-318
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-318
>             Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: site:deploy
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
>         Environment: Windows XP
>            Reporter: Josh Peters
>            Priority: Minor

> Currently under windows, a UNC path (even one represented as a file:// URL) cannot be written to.  There seems to be something in the guts of Ant and Maven that doesn't understand how to treat UNC paths as valid paths.
> In an effort to avoid the "wontfix" status: mapping the UNC path as a network drive is effective but terribly kludgey as a long-term solution.  Different developers in an organization _may_ have drives already mapped to something else.  Given a vanilla Windows network, UNC paths may be the best choice for deploying sites.
> Leaving this as a minor bug since it mainly affects internal projects of an organization, but it is an important one as it can keep folks from adopting Maven for use in corporate environments.
