weird problem in Windows 2003 with the Sun JDK - Java

Windows 2003 searches inside of compressed files. The Java directory
contains all of the .JAR's that JAVA uses, and searches inside each one
individually.

Thanks for the explanation but the Java_home directory does not contains
Jars, it contains one zip and a couple of directories.
Futhermore, I don't see the problem with other directories containing zip
files. Maybe you're right but 2003 in that case would need to search
for every sub directories whenever you enter a directectory, it's not
extremely efficient. Left if the file src.zip. I will try tomorrow to create
another directory with only this file and check what happening.

Both ZIP and JAR are compressed files. And note that src.zip is quite large.
