I figured I had better let someone know what the cause was, else there would be much time wasted when this happened to the next person building on a Mac. We might catch that exception, check for .DS_Store in the name, and provide a more useful explanation of the root cause, even if we don't get around to "fixing" it soon. For example: String secondPkgElement = null; try { secondPkgElement = name.substring(firstSlashIndex + 1, name.indexOf("/", firstSlashIndex + 1)); } catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) { if (name.endsWith("/.DS_Store")) System.err.println ("Unexpected Mac OS Finder file " + name); throw ex; } I'm trying asepsis right now.
