Description David Konecny 2004-03-31 15:13:29 UTC 
Please check your code and whenever you are
creating instance of java.io.File from a String
entered by user or from some other external source
you have to normalize it, i.e. call
FileUtil.normalizeFile() method. Otherwise lot of
nasty problems will appear. 

For example I know that File returned from
getWorkingDir() is not normalized and on Windows
it can be old 8.3 path like "C:\PROGRA~1\..."
which can result in lot of nasty problems when
clients start converting path to URL/FileObject.

Thanx.
