Comment 2 pribyl 2009-04-03 10:38:55 UTC 
I am able to reproduce this issue with following steps:

1,In the IDE, create new project (e.g. "C:\TestProject"), close the IDE.
2,Delete userdir
3,open command line console and run NB with parameter:  --open "C:\TestProject"

This Exception (and some more) is thrown during the "activating Java" process.

Comment 4 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-04-06 13:31:11 UTC 
I think this warning falls to the category of warnings that should have lower log level (eg. FINE). It's really just a
warning. The call to FU.toFO succeeds even for not normalized File instances. IMO there is no point in forcing everybody
to call FU.normalizeFile before calling FU.toFO. Moreover if that's exactly what FU.toFO does as well.
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2009-04-06 15:20:47 UTC 
It does normalization only if assertions are turned on. Also exception is thrown only when assertions are enabled.
Otherwise input file is not normalized and it may lead to faulty behavior.
Comment 6 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-04-16 15:38:26 UTC 
Ok, so someone, somewhere is somehow adding not-normalized path to a classpath.
Comment 7 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-09-23 16:31:36 UTC 
Seems no longer happening. Please reopen if this is spotted again in recent dev builds.
