Thanks for the report. It should work since I have not made any unix specific path requirements in the code. I will try to reproduce it and get back to you.

I think it is caused by transforming CodeSourceLocation of ProtectionDomain to String (getPath). This line instead could work (Initializer.java:33)

Path jarRootPath = Paths.get(Initializer.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getURI()).getParent();

Sadly, I can't do push request for the moment, so I hope this helps.

This has now been fixed. As you said @honzik1 this was due to the getPath() on a Location object returning a string instead of a path. But now a new issue #38 has come up. Closing this for now.
