Currently the upstream builds conatains onl .bat lucnhers. 'msorry for it. We have .sh for linux and 
those works fine.
As Alex mentioned, hist itw which is included in his OpenJDK msi have  native launchers.

For 1.8, the major rework is to rewrite launchers to native ones, so this issue will disappear.

This is most likely windows specific issue. It should do no harm. We are working on removing windows 
issues, but as windows workd is fresh for ite (year) opposite to linux(10years including gnu 
classapth) similar problems may appear.
Patches welcomed!

Nope. the offline work and caching should work fine. If it is really escaping, serious bug escaped 
us. Do you mind to fill the https://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/ for us? Please be sure I must be 
able to reproduce to fix it. Again, fix welcomed.
