FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
C:\z-harvest\AHarwebInstall\Build\!test>java -version
java version "1.5.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_01-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
C:\z-harvest\AHarwebInstall\Build\!test>ver

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
My working directory, containing the executable jar, is:
C:\z-harvest\AHarwebInstall\Build\!test

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My working directory contains a "!" (exclamation) in the name.

ResourceBundle.getBundle() causes an exception when the application is launched from the application jar.

If the application is unpackaged and run - the application works properly.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a simple class that reads a String from a properties file.
- ResourceBundle.getBundle("test");

Package the Java class and the properties file together in a Jar, and add an entry in the Manifest for the Main-Class.

- Place the jar in a directory with an exclamation mark in the name
(i.e. !a).
- Execute "java -jar <jar name>" from the command line.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
There should be no exception, and the application should run normally.
ACTUAL -
The application terminates with an exception.
