Christian Schulte updated MASSEMBLY-746: ---------------------------------------- Attachment: MASSEMBLY-746.zip Example project demonstrating the issue. Unpack and execute {{mvn package}}. This produces the following warning. {code} [ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific root-relative-reference (starting with slash) / {code} This is due to {{<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>}} used in a {{<fileSet>}} like: {code} <fileSet> <directory>src/main/assembly</directory> <fileMode>0444</fileMode> <directoryMode>0755</directoryMode> <lineEnding>dos</lineEnding> <filtered>false</filtered> <!-- Warning about / being used on Windows. --> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <includes> <include>bin.xml</include> </includes> </fileSet> {code} The example descriptor also contains {code} <file> <destName>descriptor.xml</destName> <fileMode>0444</fileMode> <filtered>false</filtered> <lineEnding>dos</lineEnding> <!-- No warning about / being used on Windows. --> <outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory> <source>src/main/assembly/bin.xml</source> </file> {code} For the {{<file>}} element, no warnings are produced. This is confusing the recommended way to specify the assemblies root directory for an {{<outputDirectory>}}. > Warnings about platform dependent paths inconsistent. > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MASSEMBLY-746 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-746 > Project: Maven Assembly Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.5.3 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.2.3 > (33f8c3e1027c3ddde99d3cdebad2656a31e8fdf4; 2014-08-11T22:58:10+02:00) > Java version: 1.7.0_72, vendor: Oracle Corporation > Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 > OS name: "windows xp", version: "5.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows" > Reporter: Christian Schulte > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: MASSEMBLY-746.zip > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
