How can a library.properties-file cause an error no such file or directory?

To analyse what the problem might be i did the following:

I created a new subdirectory in folder libraries named
"KeyboardJoWa" JoWa for honoring John Wassers work to create this library

Then I copied the complete content of file Keyboard_GR.h into the clipboard
pasted the content into a new file created by notepadd++ and saved the file with name Keyboard_GER.h into the libraries subfolder KeyboardJoWa

Then I copied the content of file KeyboardUTF8.h into the clipboard
pasted the content into a new file created by notepadd++ and save the file with name KeyboardJoWa.h into the libraries subfolder KeyboardJoWa

Then I renamed everything inside the file from KeyboardUTF8 to
KeyboardJoWa

Then I copied the content of file KeyboardUTF8.cpp into the clipboard
pasted the content into a new file created by notepadd++ and saved the file with name KeyboardJoWa.cpp into the libraries subfolder KeyboardJoWa

Then I renamed everything inside the file from KeyboardUTF8 to
KeyboardJoWa

finally I modified John Wassers demo-code from

#include <KeyboardUTF8.h>
#include <src/Keyboard_GR.h>

// Keyboard_GR Keyboard_german;

void setup()
{
  Keyboard_GR.println("This is a test.");
}

void loop() {}

to

#include <KeyboardJoWa.h>
#include <Keyboard_GER.h>

// Keyboard_GR Keyboard_german;

void setup()
{
  Keyboard_GER.println("This is a test.");
}

void loop() {}

So in summary I created by hand:

  • the subfolder
  • all the files and stored the files using notepad++

and this did compile successfully.

Just a thought:
Could the problem be with installing a ZIP-library with the Arduino-IDE?

Could it be that the problem is caused by the Anti-Virussoftware Kaspersky Total Security not allowing the compiler to have access to files installed through the function Add Zip-library?
