I set a breakpoint and noticed that the exception is thrown from Java 1.8 java.nio.Path.get() method

    public static Path get(URI uri) {
        String scheme =  uri.getScheme();
        if (scheme == null)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Missing scheme");

        // check for default provider to avoid loading of installed providers
        if (scheme.equalsIgnoreCase("file"))
            return FileSystems.getDefault().provider().getPath(uri);

        // try to find provider
        for (FileSystemProvider provider: FileSystemProvider.installedProviders()) {
            if (provider.getScheme().equalsIgnoreCase(scheme)) {
                return provider.getPath(uri);
            }
        }

        throw new FileSystemNotFoundException("Provider \"" + scheme + "\" not installed");
    }

The problematic scheme is vfs:/content/pdf-rest-server.war/WEB-INF/lib/driver-bundle-1.19.0.jar/driver/linux/

The same code above ran successfully as a standalone Java application (i.e. not deployed inside an application server such as WildFly/JBoss).

Hi, here is the same error reported. How exactly do you use AlternativeDriver class tuning? @htr3n
