Finally I brought it to work with the following statements:
<j:new className="java.io.File" var="myFile">
<j:arg type="java.lang.String" value="${basedir}/Foo/baar" />
</j:new>
<x:parse var="editionsFile" xml="${myFile.toURL()}"/>
Cheers
Silvio

Hi Dion
Thank you for your response. Can you provide me a maven.xml snipped
showing how to create a java.util.File? I failed trying to find out the
right syntax.
Best Regards
Silvio

Create a java.io.File using ${basedir}/Foo/baar and then get the URL
from it.
