Description Steve Loughran 2008-01-15 02:51:16 UTC 
If we add an interface to those resources that can provide relative resources
(e.g. FileResource), then we can start thinking about how to <import> resources,
where the imported files will also make relative references (i.e. their own
<import> calls)

Hey, was this your idea or mine?  ;)
Comment 2 Matt Benson 2008-01-15 07:33:41 UTC 
Anyway, that aside, I still don't see any reason that the existing ResourceFactory interface can't be used 
here.
Comment 3 Steve Loughran 2008-01-15 08:00:22 UTC 
...didnt know about the existing one. Yes, you are right.
Comment 4 Steve Loughran 2008-01-15 10:25:07 UTC 
changes checked in to FileResource. 

-it will convert backslashes and stuff during conversion, as with normal
filenames. Is this wise?

-Lots of work needed to do the same for zip/jar files and stuff on the classpath

Are you sure you've checked in changes?  I don't find any.  :(

this was checked in years ago.
