Importing any EE artifact will fail if any of the zip entries contain leading slashes, e.g "/foo.txt" instead of "foo.txt".  It's not clear to me how the exmple ear archive was created, but it fails with an exception like the following:

java.lang.RuntimeException: /com/ibm/websphere/csi/ must be relative.

The fix is very simple and safe which is to ensure the paths are relative by calling Path.makeRelative().  This method will return itself if it is already relative so will not have performance implications.
