-Des.path does store relative to target/tomcat dir instead of relative to project basedir

It is really confusing that if you use

mvn -P cargo.run -Drepo.path=repostorage -Des.path=esstorage that 'repostorage' is relative to the project basedir (as expected) and esstorage is relative to tomcat/target.

Can the es.path behavior made in sync with repo.path?
