Description Jan Becicka 2007-08-30 08:15:47 UTC 
Fresh build, JDK 1.6.0_02, Win XP,
I created a New Class in default package and I get this warning message dialog:
"; might be because your user directory is on a Windows UNC path (issue #46813)? If so, try using mapped drive letters."

From user point of view it is not obvious what I did wrong nor what should I do.

I see this log in console:
SEVERE [global]

Comment 1 _ gtzabari 2007-08-30 20:01:22 UTC 
I get the same exception in dev build 20070830000 when I create a new Java project. This seems to be random in nature. I
tried reproducing it a second time and no exception occurred. This could be because Netbeans' repository already had the
path cached.
Comment 2 _ gtzabari 2007-08-30 21:59:24 UTC 
Upgraded priority to P2. This exception is consistently thrown when I create a new Entity class using the wizard,
thereby preventing me from creating new classes. I had to copy/paste existing classes.
Comment 3 rmatous 2007-08-31 08:16:52 UTC 
What about to look at index 18, the probably space isn't allowed. So, escape is necessary:
"file:/tmp/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication9/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/JanBecicka/My%20Documents/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication3/src/NewClass.java"

File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/.../NewClass.java");
URL url = f.toURI().toURL();
