Hello all, I am using Maven2 on Windows XP
Lets say that I have this property in my pom.xml file: <log.app.directory>${basedir}${file.separator}log${file.separator}</log.app.directory> This property is being used to write the location of a directory for holding log files, to a log4j.xml file. Now when I run some code to write to the log file, I get a file in the ${basedir} of the project called: devworkspacearchetypesTestlogSimpleTest21-1.0-SNAPSHOT_test.log (which contains the contents of the log file...) Sure this works, but it isn't really what I had in mind. Rather I'd like the log file to be written to the ${basedir}/log of my project. I looked in my ${basedir}/target/test-classes/log4j.xml and the value which is generated for the output of the logfile is: C:\dev\workspace\archetypesTest\log\SimpleTest21-1.0-SNAPSHOT_test.log My question is, does it need to be? C:\\dev\\workspace\\archetypesTest\\log\\SimpleTest21-1.0-SNAPSHOT_test.log And how can I do this without destorying the portability to linux by adding two ${file.seprator}'s? Thank you, Andrew J.
