There is a 'bug' where IDEA refuses to recognize corrupted JAR files in it's path.
 
For instance, developers commonly forget to use the binary flag when committing .JAR files to a CVS repository (third-party libraries) and these files are then corrupted upon update/checkout. IDEA tries to load these, fails, and then fails to show these files in the various file choosers (add to CLASSPATH, particularly). A better approach would be to show a 'broken' JAR icon.
