Actually, this is not a vald URI. Even the java.net.URI class will reject it
as invalid.

It's a URI-like string conforming to a private non-URI syntax devised by
Sun, which is accepted by many software products in lieu of a URI or URL,
but you can't expect conformant URI-based software to handle it. (Saxon
makes a rare exception to its usual insistence on conformant input here: it
generally accepts these jar: pseudo-URIs in places where strictly, a valid
URI is required for W3C conformance.)
