At info.xml generation step, the location of the upater.jar is wrongly built, when the Maven local repository is located on another drive as the project

Hello,

I am running on Windows 10, Maven 3.9.5, Java Zulu 8, NB 25 and

```

org.apache.netbeans.utilities
nbm-maven-plugin
14.2
true

```

My Maven local repository is located on a drive D: with the following declaration in the .m2/settings.xml
` D:\projects\.m2\repository
`
And my project on
`C:\projects\crystal\release\....`

When running the nbm-maven-plugin in debug mode I notice:

```

Near the end of the log above, it seems that the ant task wrongly interprets the fact that the local repository is on D: drive (

> dropping C:\D from path as it doesn't exist

) and tries to use the drive where the project is located (C:).

If I replace th C: in the line in log above by D:, then the location is correct and it can find the updater-RELEASE220.jar:

**C:**\projects\.m2\repository\org\netbeans\external\updater\RELEASE220\updater-RELEASE220.jar -> **D:**\projects\.m2\repository\org\netbeans\external\updater\RELEASE220\updater-RELEASE220.jar

Somehow, netbeans/nbbuild/antsrc/org/netbeans/nbbuild
/MakeNBM.java gets confused with its Path (ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/types
/Path.java).

Maybe it is related to the fact that it misinterpret the colon in the full path as a path separator, even tough on Windows it is supposed to be semi-colon.

Start by reading netbeans/nbbuild/antsrc/org/netbeans/nbbuild/MakeNBM.java and the referenced Ant Path.java, then trace how the local repository path is handled during info.xml generation. Reproduce with a Windows project on C: and Maven repository on D:; done means the generated updater.jar location retains the correct drive and is found.
