How to reproduce? Start an embedded Jetty from an application that uses classpath wildcards.

As far as I'm aware, that's not a valid classpath with globs.

"D:\testlibs*" // this isn't supported.
"D:\testlibs\*" // this should be supported.

Java places some restrictions on how you use wildcard / globs.

• It can only be at the end of a String.
• It must be after a directory slash.
• Only a "*" is supported (meaning all files in the current directory)

I have updated the description, it was with a backslash at the end but the markdown syntax swallowed it. It is a valid classpath configuration, the applications starts with it.

Now I see that the issue is older : https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/issues/11092 .

[joakime]

I think I see where we can make an improvement in #11092

[joakime]

I have a possibly fix in #12287 can you test it?

When will be the next version available?
