Description

I use a German Windows XP and my home folder is "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Wellhöfer".

When my "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Wellhöfer\.m2\settings.xml" settings file contains the line

<localRepository>C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Wellhöfer\.m2</localRepository>

downloaded artifacts are not put under "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Wellhöfer\.m2". Maven2 creates a folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\WellhÃfer\.m2" and puts the artifacts into this folder.

When I remove the line

<localRepository>C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Wellhöfer\.m2</localRepository>

from settings.xml the artifacts are put into the correct directory.
