Further file-related observations: Project.resolveFile() methods claim to return canonical files, but they actually defer to FileUtils methods that claim to return absolute files.
FileUtils.resolveFile claims to return absolute files; however calling FileUtils.resolveFile(null, "\\") on DOS returns the non-absolute File "\\". So we lie. :) -Matt --- Matt Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This method will: > > * Uppercase the drive letter if there is one. > * Remove redundant slashes after the drive spec. > * Resolve all ./, .\, ../ and ..\ sequences. > * DOS style paths that start with a drive letter > will have \ as the separator. > > Other DOS considerations: > > when a drive letter is supplied and there is no > separator immediately following, the meaning is > different.
