Description

Have maven problems with modules containing too many "-"?
I have projects that are named:

globalpom-groovy/
globalpom-groovy/globalpom-groovy/pom.xml < parent pom
globalpom-groovy/globalpom-groovy-izpack/pom.xml
globalpom-groovy/globalpom-groovy-izpack-snglejar/pom.xml
globalpom-groovy/globalpom-groovy-testutils/pom.xml

But if I do mvn release:prepare inside of globalpom-groovy/globalpom-groovy/, then I get the error:

[INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd 
/mnt/read/projects/com.anrisoftware/globalpom/globalpom-groovy/globalpom-

Of course that's wrong 'globalpom-groovy/-izpack/pom.xml' should be
'../globalpom-groovy-izpack/pom.xml', or something like that.
