I agree that relative paths are a good idea. +1

Hi, 

I suggest we use relative paths. 
For the reports, using full paths may get overly verbose and make the 
reports unreadable. 
Relative paths are usually not, that much. 
Compare e.g.: 

INFO: Unzipping 
/home/ondra/work/Migration/Windup/tests/core/target/../../../test-files/Windup1x-javaee-example.war 
to 
/home/ondra/work/Migration/Windup/tests/core/target/windupreport/archives/Windup1x-javaee-example.war 

vs. 

INFO: Unzipping ../../../test-files/Windup1x-javaee-example.war to 
windupreport/archives/Windup1x-javaee-example.war 

The base path may be stated just once somewhere else. 

>From my experience, using relative paths may get tricky, needing to 
carry the base path(s) along with the relative, but still, is worth the 
work.
