Hi, Please find below a patch for: 8189953: FileHandler constructor throws NoSuchFileException with absolute path https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8189953
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8189953/webrev.00/ This is a windows only bug. The issue is caused by a change that happen somewhen between 8 and 9, where new File(new File("C:"),"Workspace") was fixed to return "C:Workspace" and not "C:\\Workspace". This uncovered a bug in the FileHandler::generate algorithm. The FileHandler::generate algorithm could arguably be improved by being entirely rewritten but I choose to keep the changes as minimal as I could. best regards, -- daniel
