AFAIK, It actually wasn't a mistake but an intentional effort to make it work on Windows. The linked thread on compiler-dev[1] has details (especially the interpretation of "relative URLs") about why the Manifest was constructed in this manner. The actual code which does this construction, resides here[2] . > There was an outreach effort to tack to down build tools and plugins > that were incorrectly setting the attribute value to a file path > instead of a URL. > Quarkus is a relatively new project and furthermore this specific code is very new too (a few months old I think). So I think this never got covered as part of the outreach efforts.
