Description
Due to naming conventions and limitations of windows, my username has an opening bracket in it.
This bracket causes a SyntaxError since the path to %APPDATA% gets evaluated as regular Expression

Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Windows with a user path containing (, then start at c.getStream in the reported dist/extension.js stack trace and trace the path matching logic. Done means the Java extension starts without a regular-expression SyntaxError for that path; no source test file is named in the issue.
