> I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended but the DefaultMavenSettingsBuilder converts paths like "\\server\username\.m2\settings.xml" to "<Current Drive>:\server\username\.m2\settings.xml". This prevented us from using the default user.home because our userprofiles are located on another server and are referenced by "\\" network paths. It would've been quite complicated to change the user.home system property for all developers, so we fixed the problem by removing a regular expression that replaced double backslashes by only one, followed by calling "new File(path).getAbsolutePath()" which added the current drive letter to the path and converted it to a local path this way.
> I don't know the reason for removing double backslashes from the beginning but at least i didn't recognize any problems with my changes yet. It would be nice if somebody could tell me what the regexp was intended for. I attached a patch to this posting and hope it helps!
