No, this is not correct. That is what *should* happen, but Path
enforces constraints based on the local operating systems'
requirements.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.equinox/components/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.common/src/org/eclipse/core/runtime/Path.java?root=RT_Project&view=markup
/* (Intentionally not included in javadoc)
* @see IPath#isValidSegment(String)
*/
public boolean isValidSegment(String segment) {
int size = segment.length();
if (size == 0)
return false;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
char c = segment.charAt(i);
if (c == '/')
return false;
if (WINDOWS && (c == '\\' || c == ':'))
return false;
}
return true;
}
This prevents any Path being created with a \ or : in the name on
windows platforms, even when the EFS filing system has nothing to do
with windows filing systems. Ditto the / for all platforms. Basically,
it should not be up to the Path to determine if something is a valid
name or not; it should be delegated to the EFS implementation in
question.
