Doing the right thing here means a behavior change for environments where the path string comes from native code using the long path or UNC prefix. This will need a CSR and release note. We agreed to reevaluate the compatibility impact before JDK 22 RDP1. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15603#issuecomment-1741780454
