No resolution of ~ (tilde) when installing a file to local repo ---------------------------------------------------------------
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'.
