[jira] Closed: (MNG-4038) No resolution of ~ (tilde) when installing a file to local repo

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Adam Michalik closed MNG-4038.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Bug

Confirmed that  tilde is resolved by the shell (see http://www.vias.org/linux-knowhow/bbg_sect_03_04_03.html). Java does not resolve it at all.

>                 Key: MNG-4038
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4038
>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Command Line
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.9
>         Environment: Linux, JDK 6u12
>            Reporter: Adam Michalik
>            Priority: Minor

> On Linux the ~ sign (tilde) is an abbreviation for user's home directory. However, when installing a file to a local repository like this:
> mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jmork -DartifactId=jmork -Dversion=1.0.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=~/Download/jmork-1.0.4/jmork-1.0.4.jar 
> where the home directory is /home/adam and current directory is /home/adam/tmp the tilde is taken literally as if it was a directories name, resulting in:
> [INFO] Scanning for projects...
> [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'install'.
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Building Maven Default Project
> [INFO]    task-segment: [install:install-file] (aggregator-style)
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] [install:install-file]
> [INFO] Installing /home/adam/tmp/~/Download/jmork-1.0.4/jmork-1.0.4.jar to /home/adam/.m2/repository/jmork/jmork/1.0.4/jmork-1.0.4.jar
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Error installing artifact 'jmork:jmork:jar': Error installing artifact: File /home/adam/tmp/~/Download/jmork-1.0.4/jmork-1.0.4.jar does not exist
> Workaround:
> specify a full path or use $HOME instead of ~
> I am aware that this may be more of a Java problem and not Maven specific, but I thought it may be useful to report it anyway.
