**[Joerg Schaible](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=joehni)** commented I've been running Cygwin & Maven 1/2 for years in combination with the Windows versions of CVS/Subversion without any problem. The provided outputs above show clearly, that in all cases a DOS path was provided to a Cygwin compiled utility. What was ??derogating?? about the comment? If one ever manages to build a complete VM on top of Cygwin (SableVM/Classpath or Harmony might once be available), those will automagically understand and use the paths of the underlaying system => Cygwin. Maven works happily on other POSIX file systems, because the VM provides the appropriate functionality (e.g. called indirectly by File.getAbsolutePath()). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
