We're running a setup with Hudson master on Windows with a Linux slave (ssh).
We're using Clearcase and Maven and would like to use the built in support for
these to get nicer output (rather than scripting it ourselves).

Our problem is that the clearcase plugin inserts an extra (incorrect) \ in the
view path.

When we try to run the job on linux host sauron with view root = /view/, load
rules=/vob/NYA_JAVA we get

--CUT--

ERROR: No such file /view/\sauron_mvn_v9/vob/NYA_JAVA/pom.xml
Perhaps you need to specify the correct POM file path in the project configuration?

--CUT--

(vob/NYA_JAVA/pom.xml comes from the Maven plugin)

As far as I can make out the problem is the use of java.io.File.separator, which
seems to be evaluated on the master (Windows) side, while the resulting string
is used on Linux.

Obvious potential workarounds:

As it seems to be used only between the view drive/root and view name, don't add
anything if view root ends with \ or /.

Extra advanced setting for separator.

I can submit a patching but am unsure which solution is considered the least ugly.
