 * <ul>

 *   <li>

 *     File names need not be canonical.

 *   </li>

 *     For file objects representing regular files

 *         <code>{@linkplain FileObject#openReader(boolean)}</code>

 *         must succeed if the following would succeed (ignoring

 *         encoding issues):

 *         <blockquote>

 *           <pre>new {@linkplain java.io.FileInputStream#FileInputStream(File) FileInputStream}(new {@linkplain File#File(java.net.URI) File}({@linkplain FileObject fileObject}.{@linkplain FileObject#toUri() toUri}()))</pre>

 *         issues):

 *         <blockquote>

 *           <pre>new {@linkplain java.io.FileOutputStream#FileOutputStream(File) FileOutputStream}(new {@linkplain File#File(java.net.URI) File}({@linkplain FileObject fileObject}.{@linkplain FileObject#toUri() toUri}()))</pre>

 *         </blockquote>

 *       </li>

 *     </ul>

 *   </li>

 *   <li>

 *     <code>{@linkplain FileObject#toUri()}</code>

 *     <ul>

 *       <li>

 *         must be {@linkplain java.net.URI#isAbsolute() absolute} (have a schema), and

 *       </li>

 *       <li>

 *         must have a {@linkplain java.net.URI#normalize() normalized}

 *         {@linkplain java.net.URI#getPath() path component} which

 *         can be resolved without any process-specific context such

 *         as the current directory (file names must be absolute).

 *       </li>

 *     </ul>

 *   </li>

 * </ul>

 *

 * According to these rules, the following URIs, for example, are

 * allowed:

 * <ul>

 *   <li>

 *     <code>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UncleBob/BobsApp/Test.java</code>

 *   </li>

 *   <li>

 *   </li>

 * </ul>

 * Whereas these are not (reason in parentheses):

 * <ul>

 *   <li>

 *     <code>file:BobsApp/Test.java</code> (the file name is relative

 *     and depend on the current directory)

 *   </li>

 *   <li>

 *     (the first half of the path depends on the current directory,

 *     whereas the component after ! is legal)

 *   </li>

 *   <li>

 *     <code>Test.java</code> (this URI depends on the current

 *     directory and does not have a schema)

 *   </li>

 *   <li>

 *     <code>jar:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UncleBob/BobsApp/../lib/vendorA.jar!com/vendora/LibraryClass.class</code>

 *     (the path is not normalized)

 *   </li>

 * </ul>
