Hello, sorry for the persistence guys
While running my application which I finnaly compiled and works 50-60% I
found a problem which can be easy replicated using the following piece
of
code:
public class Main {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 try{
 File file = new File(args[0]);
 URL url;
 if (file.exists()) {
 url = file.toURL();
 }else{
 url = new URL(args[0]);
 }
 URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
 BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
 String line = buf.readLine();
 while(line!=null){
 System.out.println("line = " + line);
 line=buf.readLine();
 }
 }catch(Exception e){
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
}
If args[0] is a http address for example
(http://nemesisit.rdsnet.ro/index.shtml) everything works ok
If args[0] is a local file I get the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \c:\thisiscool-gcc\examples\reflect\list:
The
filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

(c:\thisiscool-gcc\examples\reflect\src\Main.java:19)
 at _main (c:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccEhbaaa.i)
Is this a bug?
