Description

When running mvn assembly:assembly in uimaj-distr get a failure:
Illegal character in path at index 18: file:/C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/.m2/repository/org/apache/ant/ant/1.7.0/ant-1.7.0.jar

This error goes away if we delete the part of the POM that was attempting to specify 1.7.0 level of ant, but also had the comment that it wasn't working. The current ant level downloaded by maven if no level is specified is 1.7.1 which is fine for our use.
