    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12622917#action_12622917 ] 

Michelle Caisse commented on JDO-603:
-------------------------------------

We should test on dist that the directory has the proper name format and issue an error message if it does not.

> The algorithm used to compute the dist directory requires that the top-level directory terminate in the string "jdo". The algorithm is codified in this line of trunk/project.properties:
> jdo.releases.dir = ${basedir.substring(0, basedir.lastIndexOf('jdo'))}jdo/releases
> This, for example, takes c:/jdoFooBar/branches/2.1.1 and converts it to c:/jdo/releases. It will fail completely for c:/code/branches/2.1.1.
> A fix allowing an arbitrary string as the local tree top level directory is difficult because it needs to work for both <topdir>/trunk/ and <topdir>/branches/<version>. The solution is to document the requirements for the directory name in <topdir>/HowToReleaseJDO.html.
