On VMS, the value of the properties sun.boot.class.path java.ext.dirs can have portions of jar filespecs which are in a case that is different than that which the File class returns in it's canonical representation for the same file. This ends up causing a problem in NB4.0 since the members of the classpath are mounted as fielsystems. The case of the JAR filenames being different when returned by File.List() causes no match to occur. We have filed a bug report against the JVM on VMS, but they aren't convinced this is a bug. In the meantime. we are implementing a workaround for VMS to make sure the case of these properties is consistent. We'll be providing patch files in the next day. Thanks, Meg
beta2 high resistance is approaching fast. Meg, can you please attach the diff asap? Thanks
We're working on it now. The patch will use conditional code to only be effective on VMS. Hope to attach it today if testing goes well.
Here is the patch file. Thanks /Isao,Meg
Created attachment 17361 [details] Patch file for AbstractFolder.java
You probably also want to check the behavior of FileUtil.normalizeFile on OpenVMS very carefully, as this is an important call in 4.0.
Radek, please also review Meg's patch. I am going to merge it. Meg, thanks for the patch
patch merged to CVS trunk. Meg & Co please verify. Thanks
