Gordon Pettey updated MASSEMBLY-775: ------------------------------------ Comment: was deleted (was: It's not checking "a path starting with / on a Windows system". Every one of those checks is for the *destination* path. It's checking a path starting with / as the target path in the assembled archive, which is utter nonsense. The zip/tar/whatever file isn't ever going to have "Windows" paths with drive letters in it (and if you supplied one as a target path, I suspect the archiver code is going to barf an exception at you - no need to duplicate a check in the assembly plugin). {{/}} is the appropriate way to specify the root directory of the target archive.) > Emit WARNING instead of ERROR > ----------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-775 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-775 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.5.5 > Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise > Priority: Minor > > I have currently a build which creates several tar/tar.gz/zip archives etc. > {code} > [INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/descriptor-inner-tar.xml > [INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml > [INFO] Building tar: C:\...\xyz-X.y.z-SNAPSHOT-dist.tar > [ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific > root-relative-reference (starting with slash) / > [ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific > root-relative-reference (starting with slash) / > {code} > In my opinion the message could be a WARNING instead of an error ?
