Description

When using the builtin assembly descriptor bin, the build output contains ERRORs when run on Windows:

[INFO] --- maven-assembly-plugin:3.1.0:single (create-bin-distro) @ descriptor-ref-demo ---
[ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific root-relative-reference (starting with slash) /

[ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific root-relative-reference (starting with slash) /
[ERROR] OS=Windows and the assembly descriptor contains a *nix-specific root-relative-reference (starting with slash) /

However, the build succeeds and produces valid archives (tar.bz2, tar.gz and zip).

The problem should rather be logged as WARN than as ERROR.

To reproduce this issue, I created a demo project on GitHub: https://github.com/ferstl/MASSEMBLY-871 .
