I was sure there was one around called "relativize", but I can't find it. Maybe was thinking of the URI one. I remember dealing with the extensive Windows edge cases and so on - probably in Archiva or Wagon/Release/SCM. Your best bet might be to use commons-io's normalize on both paths and then chop the common path-delimited substring. I don't suppose you can avoid resolving it though, and just prepend "../" as long as you know the depth from the original project, and know that the previous value was already relative? Don't forget to cover the Maven 3 case where <relativePath></relativePath> turns off the default.
