Jody, sometimes I wondering if you really read my mails ;-) Please have a look in DataUtilities, there is no fileToURL method at all, only the method to go the opposite direction is available (urlToFile). Here is the file so that you can double check quickly: http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/trunk/modules/library/main/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/DataUtilities.java The utility class you're referring to in uDig is: http://svn.refractions.net/udig/udig/trunk/plugins/net.refractions.udig.catalog/src/net/refractions/udig/catalog/URLUtils.java and the method is: public static URL fileToURL( File file ) { try { return file.toURI().toURL(); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { try { return file.toURI().toURL(); } catch (MalformedURLException e1) { try { return new URL("file:/" + file.getCanonicalPath().replace('\\', '/')); //$NON-NLS-1$ } catch (MalformedURLException e2) { return null; } catch (IOException e2) { return null; } } } } The first try catch is ... odd? If the first file.toURI().toURL() fails, what makes you think the second attempt will work any better? ;-) Can you make an example of a case that will fail to work with toURI().toURL() that will work with the innermost catch path? Just asking so that I have a reason to reject the user patch and use a sanitized version of the above method instead.
