Description

Running the DeploymentPackageTask on Windows leads to the this weird error: "Error building deployment package: C" ....?

This is caused by a file URL that is constructed in a platform dependent way that does not work in windows. The "C" in the message comes from the root cause: UnknownHostException .

The platform independent way is to use File.toURI().toURL(). I attached a patch (tested on windows and osx).

This patch also includes a warning when no files were selected, which, in cases no files are found, is a lot more usefull than logging the files that are found (especially for newbies)
