The underlying > {{getUri()}} method should rely on the correct {{Path#toUri()}} and neither > {{File#toUri()}} nor {{File#toString()}}, see the SO reference in MNG-6386. > For instance: > * {{${project.basedir.uri}}} instead of the broken {{${project.baseUri}}} > (and of course fix MNG-6436 otherwise it's useless) > * {{${project.build.directory.uri}}} > * {{${settings.localRepository.uri}}} > * etc > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
