[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-536) CommonBasedir Calculation fails on windows

["Ricky Clarkson (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=219839#action_219839 ] 

Ricky Clarkson commented on MRELEASE-536:
-----------------------------------------

I found that the problem was triggered by msysgit (mingw) setting the current working directory to c:\foo rather than C:\foo, and that launching mvn from cmd instead of msysgit made the problem disappear.  That said, if your patch solves it, great stuff.

> The method getCommonBasedir in class org.apache.maven.shared.release.util.ReleaseUtil runs into the Exception:\\
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
> ... while comparing pathes with small and capital lettes for Windows drives.
> e.g.: C:\WoRkInG\root\project1 has no common base dir with c:\working\root\project2\\ but it should have c:\working\root as common base directory.
> A patch and a test for that bug is attached.
> I do have the problem with version 2.0 but I fixed it in trunk for now
> Regards Matthias
