      Description

        New constructor in sun.tools.java.ClassPath builds a path using File.separator instead of File.pathSeparator.Char

        When Sun added support for fix 6473331, which adds support for Class-Path manifest entries in JAR files to rmic, they added a new constructor for sun.tools.java.ClassPath:

        public ClassPath(String[] patharray)

        which calls a new private method:

        private void init(String}[] patharray)

        The init method builds the String pathstr. The problem is that it separates the path entries by using File.separator instead of File.pathSeparatorChar. Any application that is using the pathstr as a search path will not be able to properly parse the entries. Such an application is the IBM ORB used by Websphere.
