maven build creates symlinkd files that Windows OS does not understand

      After upgrading to 1.509.4 our Maven builds create files that Windows cannot backup. The invalid files are SYMLINKD one for each module.
      The maven build and UI seem to work fine. The files are under the jobs/project name/builds/buildnumber or builddate directory.

          After looking closer I see that the slashes are Unix forward slashes in for the path to the symbolic link. Two directories above is a SYMLINK for lastStable and that uses the back slashes. I am guessing the Maven plugin needs to start using the forward slashes on Windows. I did check and the files exist if I use the back slashes.
