Bug Fixes
Notable Bug Fixes in JDK 7u10

The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in JDK 7u10.

Area: java command
Description: Wildcard expansion for single entry classpath does not work on 
Windows platforms.

The Java command and Setting the classpath documents describe how the wildcard 
character (*) can be used in a classpath element to expand into a list of the 
.jar files in the associated directory, separated by the classpath separator 
(;).

This wildcard expansion does not work in a Windows command shell for a single 
element classpath due to the Microsoft bug described in Wildcard Handling is 
Broken.

See 7146424.
