Thanks Franz,
and to be more specific ...
You have to be VERY VERY careful with Java Files.
Example:
File a = new File("./foo/../Foo.bar");
File b = new File("Foo.bar");
System.out.println(a.getPath()); // -> .\foo\..\Foo.bar
System.out.println(a.getAbsolutePath()); // ->
Z:\java\eclipse\saros\Test\.\foo\..\Foo.bar
// this call would actually also resolve symbolic links etc.
System.out.println(a.getCanonicalPath()); // ->
Z:\java\eclipse\saros\Test\Foo.bar
System.out.println(b.getPath()); // -> Foo.bar
System.out.println(b.getAbsolutePath()); // ->
Z:\java\eclipse\saros\Test\Foo.bar
System.out.println(b.getCanonicalPath()); // ->
Z:\java\eclipse\saros\Test\Foo.bar
System.out.println(a.equals(b)); // -> false !
