Paulo,
URI's with a scheme (such as file:) cannot be relative. That's a feature of
the specification of URIs themselves. So, this behavior is a side-effect
of the
requirement that the URI provided to the constructor has a file: scheme.

I have a mapping from uri to real files, and to i was hoping to use
that constructor to do the work, however it says it only accepts,
"absolute, hierarchical URI with a scheme equal to "file""
Now, many times on html files the uri would be the second notion of
hierarchical from the javadoc
"A /hierarchical/ URI is either an absolute URI whose scheme-specific
part begins with a slash character, *or a relative URI, that is, a URI
that does not specify a scheme.*"
As in a relative file for instance. But the constructor will never
accept this since they obviously have no schema. I was hoping to fake
it by introducing the file schema on uris that don't have it and
joining the current file parent directory to make a relative uri absolute.
But why doesn't the constructor allow this?
