Many of the so-called "forbidden" characters are actually allowed on other
systems. And why should one not be allowed to use the directory separator?

By the way, [ and ] are valid in path names on OpenVMS; they are used to
enclose the directory portion.

So I don't think this is the correct way to solve the problem; it is likely to
prevent some legitimate characters from being used.

Any validation needs to use the underlying JVM and OS; perhaps one way to do
this would be to create the file, and then see what file name it was given?
