Windows - jar files wrapped into exe - could not create Dir using jarFile from url

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make static block in which you scan for class sub types
2. Use maven-shade-plugin and launch4j-maven-plugin to wrap java jar files into 
executable launcher.exe
3. Start the launcher.exe under Windows and check the error

What is the expected output? 

Finding all sub types of a class without any errors.

What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.8 and 0.9.9-RC1 (i tried an older ones as well)

Please provide any additional information below.

If i start the shaded jar file from the command line, it is working correctly 
under windows, but if it is from exe file it is not.
