Description

If a repositorys id element contains a ":" character, maven tries to create a repository-metadata-<<repositoryId>>.xml file under certain circumstances (in our case when version ranges are used). Under windows this is not possible and will lead to an error looking like this:

[WARNING] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Invalid checksum file - RETRYING
[WARNING] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Invalid checksum file - IGNORING
[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'artifact XX:XX' could not be retrieved from repository: YY:YY due to an error: Error copying temporary file to the final destination: Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch

The Problem is in org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.metadata.AbstractRepositoryMetadata#getLocalFilename.

Better Logging, robustness check or documentation of this issue would be helpfull.
