Description

Consider this example:

multiproject X is in C:\some\folder and points to module Y with <module>../../Y</module>
module Y is multiproject and points to module Z with <module>../../Z</module>
module Z is normal jar project

Now when it comes to location of pom.xml of module Z, it will be: C:\some\folder\..\..\Y\..\..\Z\pom.xml. This may result in unnecessarily long path - too long for Windows. I suggest to use canonicalization which would make it much more shorter C:\Z\pom.xml (patch attached).
