Yep, it sounds like it might be doing "URI.create(file)" rather than
"new File(file).toURI()".

The square bracket characters ('[' and ']') are reserved characters in
a URI. If they are to be used then they need to percent encoded. That
is, '[' is percent encoded to be %5B.
The single argument java.net.URI constructor requires any illegal
characters in its argument to be quoted and preserves any escaped
octets and other characters that are present. The static create method
simply invokes the URI(String) constructor, with some extra Exception
handling. Therefore any reserved characters need to be percent encoded
before passing the String as an argument.
You can look at the java.net.URI class description to give you a
better understanding of how this encoding works.

Since this is a question about java.net.URI I am moving this question

I will try to answer it there.

Hi all,
I'm working on adopting of jpackage project to openSUSE and got a
problem with build of maven. The jpackage's folks have a script
build-jar-repository, which symlinks the jar files in
/usr/share/java to defined dir.
My problem is, that the script produces a links in this form -
/foo/bar/[ant].jar which later causes an IllegalArgumentException,
because a java.net.URI.create dissallows ``[]'' in URI. The response
from jpackage is, that java.net.URI.create has a bug, because symbol
``['' is valid in a Unix path.
I'm testing several JRE implementations, but only gcj allows the
``[]'' in URI, other ones not.
What do you think about? Is this really a bug in handling of unix
filenames?
