                 Key: IVY-909
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-909
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
            Priority: Minor


Use of a relatrive path (file system resolver, keyfile for sftp) results in a 
message like:

BUILD FAILED
c:\home\afs\Projects\TDB\build-lib.xml:357: impossible to configure 
ivy:settings with given file: c:\home\afs\Projects\TDB\ivysettings.xml : 
java.text.ParseException: failed to load settings from 
file:/c:/home/afs/Projects/TDB/ivysettings.xml: impossible to convert 
/home/afs/.ssh/ivy-pub-jena-key to class java.io.File for setting keyFile on 
class org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.SFTPResolver

A more direct statement that "keyFile=" is realtive would be helpful 

(in the example, this is MS Windows - an absolute file name must have a drive 
letter).
