Description

On an attempt to build the maven-deploy-plugin:

[INFO] Compilation failure
...\plugins\maven-deploy-plugin\target\generated-sources\plugin\org\apache\maven\plugin\deploy\HelpMojo.java:[148,97]
illegal escape character

caused by

toLines( "... ( file://C:\m2-repo or scp://host.com/path/to/repo )", [...] )
