Benjamin Bentmann updated MDEPLOY-37:
-------------------------------------

    Description: 
On Windows, a local distribution repository URL must be specified as an invalid file URL with a Windows file path syntax.  If it instead is given in valid file URL syntax then Maven will treat it as a Windows path name and actually create new directories matching the encoded URL's literal textual value.

Basically, the distribution management element is specified like so:
{code:xml}
<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>local-release-repository</id>
        <name>Local Release Repository</name>
        
        <!--
          - Notice that this is a Windows path: it uses the backslash:
          - and also the space is not URL encoded.
          - Change this to a valid file URL:
          -      file:///C:/Local%20Repository
          - and Maven will then create a directory named literally:
          -      "Local%20Repository"
          - at the root of the C drive,and deploy there.
         -->
        <url>file:///C:\Local Repository</url>
    </repository>
</distributionManagement>
{code}
A test case is attached that shows the behavior.  Execute the default goal on a Windows machine; and then also read the comment inside the POM to see more.
