35 /**
36 * File manager for tools operating on Java™ programming language
37 * source and class files. In this context, <em>file</em> means an
38 * abstraction of regular files and other sources of data.
39 *
40 * <p>When constructing new JavaFileObjects, the file manager must
41 * determine where to create them. For example, if a file manager
42 * manages regular files on a file system, it would most likely have a
43 * current/working directory to use as default location when creating
44 * or finding files. A number of hints can be provided to a file
45 * manager as to where to create files. Any file manager might choose
46 * to ignore these hints.
47 *
48 * <p>Some methods in this interface use class names. Such class
49 * names must be given in the Java Virtual Machine internal form of
50 * fully qualified class and interface names. For convenience '.'
51 * and '/' are interchangeable. The internal form is defined in
52 * chapter four of
53 * <cite>The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification</cite>.
55 * <blockquote><p>
56 * <i>Discussion:</i> this means that the names
57 * "java/lang.package-info", "java/lang/package-info",
58 * "java.lang.package-info", are valid and equivalent. Compare to
59 * binary name as defined in
60 * <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>,
61 * section 13.1 "The Form of a Binary".
62 * </p></blockquote>
63 *
64 * <p>The case of names is significant. All names should be treated
65 * as case-sensitive. For example, some file systems have
66 * case-insensitive, case-aware file names. File objects representing
67 * such files should take care to preserve case by using {@link
68 * java.io.File#getCanonicalFile} or similar means. If the system is
69 * not case-aware, file objects must use other means to preserve case.
70 *
71 * <p><em><a name="relative_name">Relative names</a>:</em> some
72 * methods in this interface use relative names. A relative name is a
73 * non-null, non-empty sequence of path segments separated by '/'.
74 * '.' or '..' are invalid path segments. A valid relative name must
75 * match the "path-rootless" rule of <a
76 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</a>,
77 * section 3.3. Informally, this should be true:
78 *
79 * <!-- URI.create(relativeName).normalize().getPath().equals(relativeName) -->
80 * <pre> URI.{@linkplain java.net.URI#create create}(relativeName).{@linkplain java.net.URI#normalize normalize}().{@linkplain java.net.URI#getPath getPath}().equals(relativeName)</pre>
81 *
82 * <p>All methods in this interface might throw a SecurityException.
83 *
84 * <p>An object of this interface is not required to support
85 * multi-threaded access, that is, be synchronized. However, it must
86 * support concurrent access to different file objects created by this
87 * object.
88 *
89 * <p><em>Implementation note:</em> a consequence of this requirement
90 * is that a trivial implementation of output to a {@linkplain
91 * java.util.jar.JarOutputStream} is not a sufficient implementation.
92 * That is, rather than creating a JavaFileObject that returns the
93 * JarOutputStream directly, the contents must be cached until closed
94 * and then written to the JarOutputStream.
95 *
96 * <p>Unless explicitly allowed, all methods in this interface might
97 * throw a NullPointerException if given a {@code null} argument.
