Error description

  • Observed behaviour: When using the maven plugin to make a
    paf\ppf files for a maven project with a nested structure the
    generated paf file is pointing to a ppf file in the same
    directory when it should be looking at a subdir/ppf file.
    Expected behaviour: The paf file should be pointing to the
    relative path location of the ppf whether or not it exists in a
    subdir
    
    Workarounds (if any): No known workarounds.
