Bug Fixes
Notable Bug Fixes in JDK 7u10
The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in JDK 7u10.
Area: java command
Description: Wildcard expansion for single entry classpath does not work on \
Windows platforms.
The Java command and Setting the classpath documents describe how the wildcard \
character (*) can be used in a classpath element to expand into a list of the \
.jar files in the associated directory, separated by the classpath separator \
(;).
This wildcard expansion does not work in a Windows command shell for a single \
element classpath due to the Microsoft bug described in Wildcard Handling is \
Broken.
See 7146424.
