Static method for dealing with file: URLs.

This class defines a static method that can be used to construct an appropriate file: URL from parts. It's defined here so that it can be reused throught the resolver.

(Yes, I'd rather have called this class FileURI, but given that a jave.net.URL is returned, it seemed...even more confusing.)

public abstract class FileURL { protected FileURL() { }
Construct a file: URL for a path name.

URLs in the file: scheme can be constructed for paths on the local file system. Several possibilities need to be considered:

  • If the path does not begin with a slash, then it is assumed to reside in the users current working directory (System.getProperty("user.dir")).
  • On Windows machines, the current working directory uses backslashes (\\, instead of /).
  • If the current working directory is "/", don't add an extra slash before the base name.

This method is declared static so that other classes can use it directly.

Params:
  • pathname – The path name component for which to construct a URL.
Throws:
Returns:The appropriate file: URL.
