[jira] Commented: (IVY-908) UNIX-style filenames for paths to work on MS-Windows

["Maarten Coene (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12631740#action_12631740 ] 

Maarten Coene commented on IVY-908:
-----------------------------------

I think the problem is only cygwin related.
The JVM still runs on windows, so it won't understand the UNIX-style filenames.

>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
>         Environment: cywgin on MS Wondows.
>            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
>            Priority: Minor

> A file name /path/to/repository is not absolute on MS-Windows.  A drive letter is needed.
> This is particularly confusing if using cygwin but is true when using Windows without cygwin ("/" is an acceptable path separator).
> Leads to less portability between Linux and Windows.
> In 2.0-RC-1, more paths must be absolute (e.g filesystem resolver artifact pattern, keyfile to sftp resolver).
