Hi,

Recently I'm trying to optimize implementation of java.File, and find File.getCanonicalPath is very time cost and is heavily used by checking file permission. But in the most of cases, the canonical path is never change, so I think it's better to cache them to avoid calculate every time. And I found RI also has cache: File.getCanonicalPath doesn't reflect change in file system real-time.

I have created a JIRA HARMONY-6200 for this, and attach a simple cache implementation for file's canonical path, someone interested in this may can help to review it.

The cache has fixed size, when it's full oldest element would be remove, and elements would be expired in 10 minutes, that mean if the element stay in cache more than 10 minutes, it's not validate and will be removed.

It's a initial implementation, I believe there are still many places can be improved, any comments and suggestions are welcome.
