Mark Michaelis commented on MNG-3198:
-------------------------------------

Actually this is a real problem. Especially when working together with the 
config-processor-plugin.

I have a property which is defined as:
{code}
${basedir}/somepath
{code}

Now the config-processor-plugin will write a property file containing:

{code}
somepath=C:\dev/somepath
{code}

And Java will fail to read this property file as it reads:

{code}
C:dev/somepath
{code}

So this would be no problem if basedir uses slashes as file separators.
