Description

I have an assembly descriptor "src/main/assembly/unix.xml" which works on Windows but broke on Unix. When I commented out the following lines of the assembly descriptor then it worked on Unix:

<fileSet>
<includes>
<include>README*</include>
<include>LICENSE*</include>
<include>NOTICE*</include>
</includes>
<filtered>true</filtered>
</fileSet>

I have no README*, LICENSE* or NOTICE* files in my src tree.

I have no filters defined in my pom.xml. The <filtered>true</filtered> makes the assembly invoke filtering if the pom does define filters.

With the above <fileSet> included in the <fileSets> element I get the following exception on assembly (on Unix only):

(I had variously used lib and /lib as target directory when debugging this so ignore discrepencies in this regard)
