URI's with a scheme (such as file:) cannot be relative. That's a

the specification of URIs themselves. So, this behavior is a

requirement that the URI provided to the constructor has a file: scheme.
Right, and I suspect the relative URIs that he has may actually be
relative to a http URI rather than a file URI. If they are relative to a
file URI then the question is what is the base. If the working directory
then he can use new File("").toURI() as the base but it could be
somewhere else.
