[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-608) "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse

["Matthew McCullough (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=205307#action_205307 ] 

Matthew McCullough commented on MECLIPSE-608:
---------------------------------------------

Typically, the cause of this is because a POM author put a replaceable like ${basedir} in the target or directory tags.  This is not allowed.  Target and Directory tags are relative to the POM, and are not supposed to have drive letters and paths to roots of the filesystem.

http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html#class_resource

If you remove the ${basedir} type references from the paths, the plugin works just fine.

> I've created an archetype (see attached archive). I generate a project using this archetype, then I try to generate the eclipse files with eclipse:eclipse (eclipse:m2eclipse gives the same), then I get the following error :
> "Cant canonicalize system path: {0}".
> As an attachment, I give the archetype and the complete stack trace.
