[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2376) eclipseclasspath task broken for windows

eclipseclasspath task broken for windows ----------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2376 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2376 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Build Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Matt Drees Assigned To: Pete Muir Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.1.GA The eclipseclasspath task in Seam's build.xml file creates an invalid .classpath file on windows. For example, a generated classpath line looks like this: <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:Documents and Settingsmatthew.drees.m2repositoryjavaxjmsjms1.1jms-1.1.jar"/> I did some debugging, and the removal of forward slashes occurs here: (EclipseClasspathTask.java line 77) line = line.replaceFirst("@" + filterProperty + "@", eclipsepaths); It turns out String.replaceFirst treats forward slashes in the second argument as escape characters. (see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=626091&messageID=3574350 and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#appe... ) An easy solution is to use String.replace instead of String.replaceFirst.
