[Scilab-Dev] InvocationTargetException after commit a715ab13a22

[Sylvestre Ledru]

It is .Scilab, not .scilab (I know we should switch to full lower case).

It is not part of our priority as you can see with the date of our bug

http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3386

Especially since it won't break some works without bringing much...
