With the latest SNAPSHOT of springboot-starter-parent on windows machines "Java nio file InvalidPathException Illegal char <:> " exception is thrown.

We use 3.0.0.SNAPSHOT of spring-boot-starter-parent. The machine is windows. I think the path is constructed by adding / at the beginning(as in linux).

After changing the version of spring-boot-starter-parent to 2.7.4 it worked fine.

Best regards
