I've resolved my issue, and commented on the jira as follows: OK, I have fixed my configuration ... This is a windows problem only. The problem was in my C:\Documents and Settings\uid\.m2\settings.xml where I had defined a value for localRepository as follows: <localRepository>/Documents and Settings/uid/.m2/repository</localRepository> This value happens to be similar to the default, although the default on windows uses a C:\ prefix. The C:\ prefix turned out to be rather important, as this is one of the ways that java.io.Win32FileSystem determines whether the path is absolute or not, the other way that is accepted as absolute is if the path startsWith a double slash \\. A single slash [how I had entered it] is not an absolute path, and this caused IdeUtils.toRelativeAndFixSeparator() to duplicate the basedir on the fileToAdd. Further on in this method, the duplicated basedir is removed, and the result is returned as a relative path, however due to the initial duplication, the path that was returned was still absolute (even if Win32FileSystem doesn't think so due to lack of C:\ or \\). So the quick answer of how I fixed this was to comment out my localRepository in my settings.xml and use the default generated value.
