Hi Christian,

When the paths are remapped through the [paths] aliases, they result in 
absolute paths, based on the first entry in the [paths] section. I see 
your point though, relative might make more sense.  But for example, the 
XML report wants to have actual file paths so that the source can be 
found when displaying in Jenkins.

Can you say more about why the full path is objectionable?
