      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      IMPORTANT:
      You just closed my identical bug report

      http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8131329

      with a comment "Could not reproduce": Maybe you missed the important point that one MUST use an MS Windows JRE!?

      If you still cannot reproduce the problem, please add the produced output as a comment.

      THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Yes

      THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Compile and run the test program with
      java.exe -cp target/classes foo.Main a "*" b

      Verify that the command line arguments of the running JVM with SYSINTERNALS PROCEXP:
      "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\bin\java.exe" -cp target/classes foo.Main a * b

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      Expected output:
      args[0]= "a"
      args[1]= "*"
      args[2]= "b"
      Done

      Actual output:
      args[0]= "a"
      args[1]= ".classpath"
      args[2]= ".project"
      args[3]= ".settings"
      args[4]= "pom.xml"
      args[5]= "src"
      args[6]= "target"
      args[7]= "b"
      Done
      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      package foo;

      public class Main {

      public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
      for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
      System.out.println("args[" + i + "]= \"" + args[i] + "\"");
      }
      Thread.sleep(5000);
      System.out.println("Done");
      }
      }
