Aha, yes, I see what's the issue now. :-) It's the getChildren that fails, we really never recurse into those bad jars. But since we don't do the contents reading lazy - which we probably could/should - the creation fails, and is correctly ignored. :-) If the stuff would lazily read contents, it would depend on the recurseFilter it it would eventually fail, e.g. comparing just name should have no impact, where checking some contents would.
