Unable to Determine if Root Directory Exists (shared drive)

Question

I made a desktop application with swing gui using jdk 19. It parses the metadata of the files and then moves the files from a specific folder to a shared drive (Checks if the necessary directories exist and if not, then creates them and copies files into them). When I run the code in IDEA, everything works as it should. But when I create an executable jar, I run the application, set the same parameters as in IDEA and get the following error:

I have no idea whats wrong with my app. What should I do to get the same result from executable jar as in IDEA? I googled that the reason might be in Windows SMB, but then why does the application work correctly if you run it from IDEA?

Answer 1

Maybe you can try with the command line: C:\jdk1.9\bin\java -jar c:\myproject\myapp.jar and show us the log?

In fact, if it runs outside of IDEA, so usually nothing will be related to IDEA. And Java programs in fact didn't work well when they launched in a Unicode folder such as in a folder with East Asian or with spaces in the folders' path.
