This bug was observed in Forte IDE build 1066 on NT 4.0 with JDK 1.3

This is tricky to reproduce this bug.

Add an empty directory to the file system for example : "c:\tmp\temp"
Convert it into a Web app module (J2ee) compliant by selecting menu item from "Tools->Convert File system into Web Module"
Select the file new File system created in previous step
From tools menu select " Tools-> Package War file"
Enter a new name for .war file
Observe the Zip file exception exception then try to access any menu item in tools menu and Observe the following exception.
Now IDE becomes unusable.
