the FileSystemNotFoundException is suspicious, on StackOverflow loading resources from class path is mentioned but that does not seem to be relevant here. There is no line number in the error, which might give an hint that the issue occurs very early, e.g. during static initialisation or so.

What funny/interesting is... a File-related issues occurs in... a file-handling module :-/
