I found a Maven plugin at Google that can replace tokens which I applied to
the filtered xml file.
This does remove the backslashes, however I think a much better solution
would be for Maven to have a simple and direct means of obtaining a file:URL
with correct form via a Maven project property.
Perhaps something like ${project.parent.basedir.url}? At this stage a
feature such as this might be more relevant as a Maven 3.0 addition?
Here is an example of using the maven-replacer-plugin configuration that can
replace tokens:
<plugin>
<groupId>bakersoftware</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-replacer-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.0.9</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>replace</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<file>target/test-classes/persistence.xml</file>
<token>\\</token>
<value>/</value>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
