Hi Alan,

thanks for joining/commenting on this one.
I guess the previous attempt you were talking about, was the change of 
indexof vs lastindexof that broke the current implementation.
Our approach does not break anything as we simply search for the real 
jar file in filesystem than relying on indexof.
I tested it with many different paths. Even 
'/home/daniel/!test!/test.jar/test.jar!/realJarFile.jar work fine now.
I also received many feedback from our customers (different OS) that it 
works fine now with ! in paths.

best regards
daniel

PS: @ Seán shall I change/post to other mailing list then?
