[libbluray-devel] BDFileSystem hook incompatibility with JRE 8

[Hendrik Leppkes]

Hey,

I've been debugging an issue with certain discs for a while now, and I
could trace it all back to the hook of the FileSystem in java.io.File
not working reliably on JRE 8. If I switch to JRE 7, everything
immediately works fine.

The behavior is rather inconsistent, the hook manages to take over the
FileSystem for some objects, but not for others - which is probably
inline with the huge warnings all over the place to not mess with
private static final fields.

Is this a known issue?
Unfortunately I have not had any brilliant ideas how to approach this
problem otherwise, and get the custom filesystem to work cleanly.
