Robert Scholte commented on MOJO-1455:
--------------------------------------
I don't think we should ever try to configure one file relative to the other
within the pom. In the pom all paths should be relative to the basedir or
absolute. If it's required to make the outputPath relative to the setupscript
we should do this inside the mojo, not in the configuration.
> nsis-maven-plugin ignores that outputFile is relative to setupScript

> NSIS regards the outputPath parameter as relative to the setup script, if it
> denotes a relative path. Therefore, messing around with it will break NSIS in
> case the setup script is not in the default location. Example: if the setup
> script is in src/main/nsis/setup.nsi and the outputPath is given as
> ../../../target/setup.exe (note that this is relative to the setup script),
> then the mojo erroneously converts the latter path to target/setup.exe, which
> will be resolved to src/main/nsis/target/setup.exe and fails due to the
> non-existence of the target subdirectory inside the nsis directory. Using an
> absolute path instead of a relative one for the outputPath property will not
> work either, since it will also be converted to target/setup.exe. Summing up,
> making the outputPath property relative to the project basedir is wrong,
> since it is relative to the setup script.
> The attached patch removes the lines converting the outputPath to a relative
> path in case it is inside the project basedir.
