>                 Key: MCOMPILER-485
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-485
>             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.10.0
>         Environment: Windows, or any operating system with a file separator character other than a forward slash
>            Reporter: Daniel Widdis
>            Assignee: Olivier Lamy
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 3.10.1
>
>
> In 3.10.0, a new feature to generate package-info classes was added in [[MCOMPILER-205] |https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/pull/88]
> Unfortunately, the binary class file is incorrectly generated using Java's file toString() which uses a platform dependent file separator character: on Windows, these Strings contain a backslash.  See [this line|https://github.com/gnodet/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/8521ef8fdd12cc0b85c1ace17114ed3d3ffd0b0c/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/compiler/AbstractCompilerMojo.java#L1356] which passes the platform-dependent file name (minus the root path and .java extension) to the ClassWriter.
> The Java class file specification (4.2.1) specifies the internal format: "In this internal form, the ASCII periods (.) that normally separate the identifiers which make up the binary name are replaced by ASCII forward slashes (/)."
> This invalid class file format causes problems in downstream plugins, e.g.,
>  * The bnd-maven-plugin fails with an error: Classes found in the wrong directory: \{oshi/jna/platform/unix/package-info.class=oshi\jna\platform\unix\package-info ... (and hundreds more) ... }
>  * The JDK's [classFileParser|https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17/blob/74007890bb9a3fa3a65683a3f480e399f2b1a0b6/src/hotspot/share/classfile/classFileParser.cpp#L5797] will throw java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com\puppycrawl\tools\checkstyle\ant\package-info (wrong name: com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/ant/package-info
> Steps to reproduce:
>  # Perform a build on any Windows machine using maven-compiler-plugin 3.10.0
>  # Inspect any of the generated package-info.class files in target/classes using a text editor
> Expected behavior:
> Internal strings representing package names use forward slashes
> Observed behavior:
> Internal strings representing package names use backward slashes
