             Summary: "mvn compile" changes "/" to "." in ERROR messages in directory names
                 Key: MNG-5810
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5810
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
         Environment: linux / gentoo.
            Reporter: John Smith
            Priority: Minor


First, it's incredible how long it takes until one can submit an issue here ... searching for the right place, then registering ... takes substantially longer than filing the issue itself. Pretty annoying.

Error description: when doing an "mvn compile", dots in directory names are replaced by slashes. Now you can't just copy & paste the file name anymore to the shell to do a  "vi <middle-mouse-button", for instance, but you have to undo maven's replacement by changing back the "/" to "." whereever needed.

Example:

[ERROR] /data/people/XXXX/MINECRAFT/WORLD/TARZAN/1/8/src/spigot-1/8/3/Spigot/Spigot-Server/src/main/java/org/spigotmc/Metrics.java:[142] blahfurz cannot be resolved to a variable

The directory names are "WORLD.TARZAN.1.8" and "spigot-1.8.3".

And NO, telling me to "well, don't use dots in directory names" or "well, don't use vi, use one of the fancy IDEs around" is not an option for me, thanks a lot.
