Thank You for the answer!
However, I'm finding the property to be set by this expression:
<dirname property="nb_all" file="${ant.file.default-properties}/.."/>
So Ant can know, it's a filename property, while it's not a nice
practise to ask first for the OS to convert the filename in a second
step - e.g. windows file names can contain spaces without escaping,
while I've not yet seen this on Linux (seems to need escaping for spaces
and other special characters).
Because of this, IMHO the backslashes in the filename should be handled
by Ant.
Kind regards

The "\n" in "C:\nb\main" is interpreted as a newline character. Try using
forward slashes - that works even on Windows.

Hello!
I've trieb to build NetBeans form source and got this error message:
C:\nb\main\nbbuild\build.xml:1408:
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported escape
sequence near index 6
C:\nb\main/(.*)$
at java.util.regex.Pattern.error(Pattern.java:1804)
at java.util.regex.Pattern.escape(Pattern.java:2284)
at java.util.regex.Pattern.atom(Pattern.java:2044)
...
The relevant piece of code:
<pathconvert property="source.dirs" pathsep="," refid="source.dirset">
<regexpmapper from="${nb_all}/(.*)$" to="\1/**/*" handledirsep="yes"/>
</pathconvert>
As ${nb_all} is "C:\nb\main", Ant should know it has to handle the whole
string, but the error position is that of the second backslash.
BTW, I've never used the regexpmapper myself, nor am I a NB developer.
Kind regards
