[Zope] Java class doesn't load correctly under windows

[Josef Meile]

Hi,

I'm trying to programatically load a java class file to a folder on the 
Zope DB called 'JMFiles' during the initialization of a Product called 
JMColorPicker. It works under linux, but on windows 2000 the applet 
isn't showed and I got an error on the java console which says:

Error loading class: ColorPicker
java.lang.ClassFormatError

Then I tried  to manually load the applet class file on the ZMI and it 
worked. Printing the filesystem path reveals that it is correctly 
separated with "\". But, some how, manage_addFile corrupts the file on 
Windows.

The code is attached to the message. Does somebody knows what the error 
could be?

Thanks in advanced,
Josef
