Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MASSEMBLY-776:
--------------------------------------------
Description:
Using an absolute path that starts with either forward or backward slash is not
accepted.
It happens because Java's File.isAbsolute() does not recognize paths starting
at either forward or backward as absolute paths on Windows. However, those
prefixes are acceptable on Windows.
This function is used at
main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/assembly/archive/phase/FileItemAssemblyPhase.java,
line 76 to know if the source is either absolute or relative.
