I've had that when upgrading to Cygwin 1.7, and it was a Cygwin issue that I fixed it with. I've never seen it since modifying my .profile:
export CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning I'm pretty sure this is a Cygwin issue, not Maven. For instance, from the "What's New" page on Cygwin 1.7: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html On the first usage of a DOS path (C:\foo, \\foo\bar), the Cygwin DLL emits a > scary warning that DOS paths shouldn't be used. This warning may be disabled > via the new CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning setting. Do you have this setting configured when you open up a terminal (either by placing in your .profile, .bash_profile, or .bashrc file)? -Nick <http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html> On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 10:52 AM, David Balažic <xerc...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 11 May 2010 17:36, Wayne Fay <wayne...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> When I start maven inside cygwin environment, cygwin gives a warning > >> about an MS-DOS style path. > >> As the mvn script tries to detect cygwin, I find that surprising. > > > > I've used Maven inside Cygwin on and off for quite a while now (not > > really often to be honest), and I've never seen that warning. > > > > I read the messages posted to that Cygwin list, tried the "sh -x ..." > > command suggested by Jeremy and got no warnings, then tried again > > using mintty and still didn't get anything. > > > > This is testing on Win XP SP2, Maven 2.2.1, and Sun JDK 1.6.0_07 with > > default locale en_US and encoding Cp1252. > > The warning is printed only once per session.
