> I think it is wrong a message "The strings must not be null", since there is not a null string involved in the call.
> Interesting is if both or 1 of the strings is null, it did not throws an exception.
> Additional comment from Niall Pemberton (on the dev mail list):
> The problem is that the FilenameUtils's normalize(String) method
> returns "null" if it thinks the file names are invalid - which in your
> case it seems to be doing so for both file names.
> So I guess theres two issues here - you're right the error is
> misleading and FilenameUtils should check the names again after
> calling normalize() for nulls and throw a more appropriate message.
