Absolute path for tokenValueMap not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write a simple pom.xml with an absolute path for tokenValueMap
2. Run mvn -am -pl <module>/<path> clean package

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should use the absolute file as the tokenValueMap. 
It searches for the file under current directory and reports File Not Found. 

What version of the product are you using?
1.4.0

Please provide any additional information below.
Running on solaris.
Execution phase is process-sources.
I tried setting basedir to / but the problem is that it starts the 
fileToReplace search from the basedir too.

For now I'm using a simple workaround.
My build config is below.
But here I didn't have to use includes which does not seem to work with this 
workaround.
{{
<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-replacer-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.4.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>process-sources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>replace</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <file>${basedir}/relative/path/to/file</file>
                    <basedir>
                        /
                    </basedir>                  <tokenValueMap>absolute/path/to/token/value/map</tokenValueMap>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
</build>
}}

Code changes complete.
I have made tokenValueMap able to fall back to an absolute file in case it 
cannot be found by a relative path.

This means you can remove the basedir argument and simply insert an absolute 
path in your tokenValueMap.

However, I could not replicate a problem with includes not working for your 
workaround. Perhaps this fix will cover your problem with includes as well.

This has not been released yet but exists on the trunk. You can either wait for 
the next release which is going to happen soon (due to another outstanding 
issue making it a priority for me) or build off trunk and install this plugin 
into your local repository (as a snapshot). Check the InstallationGuide for 
more information with that.

I hope this resolves the issue for you and I am sorry this has taken me so long 
to get around to doing.

Steven

Thanks for the fix. I will wait for the release.

Released as part of 1.5.0. This is being migrated through the central maven 
repo and will take a few hours.

Note: the artifactId was changed to "replacer" from "maven-replacer-plugin" 
(Issue 62) so you will need to change that too.
