Description

Recent file system changes have caused globStatus to stop working for paths starting with a drive spec on Windows. The problem is most easily visible by running TestFileUtil#createJarWithClassPath on Windows. This method attempts a globStatus with pattern *{.jar,.JAR}, and it no longer correctly identifies files at the path ending in .jar or .JAR.
