Bad path warning, where is it coming from?

Question

When I compile my project with compiler warnings (JDK 1.5) I get a bunch of bad path element warnings:

Warning:: [path] bad path element \"C:\\Users\\User\\MyJava\\commo

Answer 1

According to this, the issue is that in third party jars there is a reference to these in the manifest. The message can be disabled by adding -Xlint:-path to the compilation parameters.
