[Task]: Issue with Maven Builds: Assembly Creation Error and Rat Check Failure

[dsanderbi]

What needs to happen?

OS: Windows 11
Maven: 3.6.3
Java: OpenJDK 17.0.11

It should be checked why Maven Builds fail on Windows OS.

The following behavior occurs on Windows 11:

Executing
mvn clean install -pl :hop-assemblies-samples -am
results in "Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive samples: archive cannot be empty".

Executing
mvn clean install -pl :hop-transform-textfile -am apache-rat:check
results in a failure during the Rat check.
This is triggered by an empty file generated during the execution of hop-transform-textfile.
The file gets stored here : \hop\plugins\transforms\textfile\textFileOutput.txt

NOTE: also the execution of "hop-plugins-misc-git" will fail on Windows, but this is a known issue, as mentioned by @nadment

I create a separate issue for tests failures in hop-plugins-misc-git #3994
