public interface StandardJavaFileManager extends JavaFileManager
File manager based on java.io.File. A common way to obtain an instance of this class is using getStandardFileManager, for example:JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
This file manager creates file objects representing regular files, zip file entries, or entries in similar file system based containers. Any file object returned from a file manager implementing this interface must observe the following behavior:DiagnosticCollector<JavaFileObject>
diagnostics = newDiagnosticCollector<JavaFileObject>()
; StandardJavaFileManager fm = compiler.getStandardFileManager(diagnostics, null, null);- File names need not be canonical.
-
For file objects representing regular files
-
the method
FileObject.delete()
is equivalent toFile.delete()
, -
the method
FileObject.getLastModified()
is equivalent toFile.lastModified()
, -
the methods
FileObject.getCharContent(boolean)
,FileObject.openInputStream()
, andFileObject.openReader(boolean)
must succeed if the following would succeed (ignoring encoding issues):new FileInputStream(new File(fileObject.toUri()))
-
and the methods
FileObject.openOutputStream()
, andFileObject.openWriter()
must succeed if the following would succeed (ignoring encoding issues):new FileOutputStream(new File(fileObject.toUri()))
-
the method
-
The URI returned from
FileObject.toUri()
- must be absolute (have a schema), and
- must have a normalized path component which can be resolved without any process-specific context such as the current directory (file names must be absolute).
-
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UncleBob/BobsApp/Test.java
-
jar:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UncleBob/lib/vendorA.jar!com/vendora/LibraryClass.class
-
file:BobsApp/Test.java
(the file name is relative and depend on the current directory) -
jar:lib/vendorA.jar!com/vendora/LibraryClass.class
(the first half of the path depends on the current directory, whereas the component after ! is legal) -
Test.java
(this URI depends on the current directory and does not have a schema) -
jar:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UncleBob/BobsApp/../lib/vendorA.jar!com/vendora/LibraryClass.class
(the path is not normalized)
