             Summary: OS dependent behaviour while packaging
                 Key: MASSEMBLY-665
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-665
             Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4
         Environment: sles 11 / windows 7
            Reporter: Jörg Sesterhenn


Given this part of a assembly descriptor:

<fileSets>
	<fileSet>
		<directory>src/main/script</directory>
		<outputDirectory>bin</outputDirectory>
		<filtered>true</filtered>
		<includes>
			<include>*</include>
		</includes>
	</fileSet>
	<fileSet>
		<directory>/src/main/conf</directory>
		<outputDirectory>conf</outputDirectory>
		<includes>
			<include>*</include>
		</includes>
	</fileSet>
</fileSets>

Under windows 7 this packages everything as (I) expected:

src/
  main/
    conf/
    script/
  
        
Under linux the package misses the directory 'conf':

src/
  main/
    script/


Linux seems to interpret the directory as absolute path due to the leading slash.


Please either
- accept the above config and build the same package on any system, or
- fail the build with an invalid descriptor error, or
- (at least) log a warning that due to the config builds are depending on the OS.
