Github user jaikiran commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/ant-ivy/pull/20 I think both me and Nicolas agree that this "fix" isn't going to solve the case where this and other similar characters can't be fully supported as long as we are using the module descriptor attributes (via patterns of course) for file names. That's not the goal of this PR. I haven't ever tested the issue at hand on Windows, so I can't say one way or the other, but the issue noted in the JIRA was apparently working in a previous version of Ivy. This PR is an attempt to do 2 things: - Let the previously working user project, work again. - Change the implementation detail in that method, which is changed in this commit, to use a different way to identify file system root, instead of relying on the presence of a specific character to determine that. So irrespective of whether we support the colon (and other similar characters), this change probably still is worth it.
