I ran javac on Windows and I would have expected the error to have
been caught, not to dump a stack trace. The command was to try and
compile "*.java", (which should really be implemented to find all java
files , but doesn't).
>javac --module-source-path src -d mods *.java
The exception was:
Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <*>
