Errors running tests on Windows XP
Status: Alpha

I had issues running the test suite on Windows XP. I
traced this error to the use of statements like
(file:// + path1).
The problem seems to be that given a statement
url = "file://" + "D:/fred.txt";
the url resolver interprets this to be
"Try and connect to host D, and retrieve /fred.txt"
Changing the url to
url = "file:///" + "D:/fred.txt";
seems to fix this issue. From memory (of similar
issues), I don't believe this change will break unix
systems.
I can attach a patch if required, but hunting down all
the file:// entries was trivial.
(I was using Maven 1.0-RC2 to launch the test suite)
Here's a patch, not all tests pass yet on XP, but this makes more of them work
