Description

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component
    at java.io.File.(File.java:423)
    at com.jme3.asset.plugins.ClasspathLocator.locate(ClasspathLocator.java:88)

When running from a path like \\abc\def\, jME3 crashes in ClasspathLoader:
at String path = new File(url.toURI()).getCanonicalPath();

Creating a File object from an SMB path isn't supported by Java (?)

Research direction

Start in ClasspathLocator.locate at the reported new File(url.toURI()).getCanonicalPath() call and reproduce the failure by running a jME application from an SMB path such as \abc\def. Done means the application no longer throws the URI authority exception and can locate its classpath assets from that path.
