Hi Daniel, For more background on this issue I think you should link to this issue to the following:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8153250 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130462 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8189862 Thanks, Jason ________________________________________ From: core-libs-dev <core-libs-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net> on behalf of Daniel Fuchs <daniel.fu...@oracle.com> Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2017 11:47 AM To: core-libs-dev Subject: RFR: 8189953: FileHandler constructor throws NoSuchFileException with absolute path 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
