   Copying from the JIRA ticket since it doesn't sync both ways...
   
   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 because that's invalid in every archive format I know of - no need to duplicate a check in the assembly plugin). / is the appropriate way to specify the root directory of the target archive.
