public abstract class FileURL
extends java.lang.Object

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.)

                            throws java.net.MalformedURLException
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:

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

Parameters:
pathname - The path name component for which to construct a URL.
Returns:
The appropriate file: URL.

java.net.MalformedURLException - if the pathname can't be turned into a proper URL.
