The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

    It could be related to bug MECLIPSE-269: the full error message might help as this ”
    “java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect” is actually the root cause of “org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Can't canonicalize system path“.

    I get a “Can't canonicalize system path” error using the goal eclispse:eclipse when
    the <warSourceDirectory> of the maven-war-plugin starts with ${basedir}.
    If I remove the ${basedir}, the build is successful.
    If, as it appears, the war plugin uses different rules related to the prefixing a path
    with ${basedir}, then I consider it a bug because the configuration of <warSourceDirectory> is inconsistent with similar tags.
