------------------------------------------

Where in the codebase this needs fixing?

>            Priority: Minor

> Due to a bug in the JVM, paths created by expressions like this File f = new File(parentDir, fileName) 
> contain prepend characters (\..\..\..\..\ ) and can result on paths bigger than 255 characters (Windows limit).
> The JVM bug has been fixed but won't be available until Java 6 (Mustang):
> http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4403166
> The feature request consists of changing File f = new File(parentDir, fileName) to 
> f = new File(parentDir, fileName).getCanonicalFile();. This would guarantee that relative paths
> are constructed into absolute ones without prepend characters.
