Hi,
Have you decided if the proposed fix make since? If the corner case is
<DRIVE>:/, then it can be handled as well, not to remove the slash in case
the previous char is :.
IMO, the correct result for this case would most likely be to INCLUDE
the trailing "/" if the previous character is a ":". Generally you are
going to want to end up with "the root of <DRIVE>", not "the default
directory on <DRIVE>".
Best Regards,
Dimitar

I don't have a Windows machine handy right this minute, but from my
previous experience, "C:" means "the current working directory on the C
drive, from this process's perspective.
For instance:
D:\> DIR C:\
...
Program Files
Windows
...
D:\> DIR C:
...
Program Files
Windows
...
D:\> CD C:\Windows
D:\> DIR C:
...
System
System32
...
So I would think that using "C:" (with no trailing path) from Java
would
behave the same way: the current working directory *on that drive*
would
be the one used.
I would expect it to work just like "." on *NIX.

On Windows 7 from a command prompt:
C:\downloads dir c:
Shows contents of downloads
C:\downloads dir c:\
Shows contents of c drive
Yes, that's all well-known on windows. The question was, how does the
Java File object handle it? Does it give the correct result as above?
And going back to the original question, how should these paths be
normalized?
Let's hope this looks right, pasting code from Android device...
*import* java.io.File;
*import* java.net.URI;
*import* java.net.URISyntaxException;
*import* java.util.ArrayList;
*import* java.util.List;
*public* *class* Demo
{
*public* *static* *void* main(String[] args)
{
List<String> paths = *new* ArrayList<String>(2);
paths.add("file:/c:");
paths.add("file:/c:/");
*for* (String x : paths)
{
*try*
{
URI uri = *new* URI(x);
File f = *new* File(uri);
System.*out*.println(f.getAbsolutePath());
}
*catch* (URISyntaxException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
