Java – how to convert file delimiters in maven

I have an attribute defined as follows:

<properties>
    <main.basedir>${project.parent.basedir}</main.basedir>
</properties>

Since I use windows as the operating system, it contains backslashes I want to add this path to the GlassFish domain as a JVM option (using the GlassFish Maven plug-in) The problem is that asadmin can use only slashes as separators, and all backslashes disappear How do I use slashes to define attributes with exactly the same content?

Solution

I don't think there is a non - procedural way to do this So I suggest a groovy front line and maven gmaven plugin (gmaven is usually the easiest way to embed programming code into POM):

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
    <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>setproperty</id>
            <phase>validate</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>execute</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <source>
pom.properties['main.basedir']=project.parent.basedir.absolutePath.replace('\\','/');
                </source>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
