SimpleJavaFileObject.toString() generates URI with some extra message

<testcase> 
import java.io.File;
import java.net.URI;
import javax.tools.*;
import static javax.tools.StandardLocation.*;
import static javax.tools.JavaFileObject.Kind.*;

class JFO extends SimpleJavaFileObject {
        public JFO(URI uri, Kind kind) {
            super(uri,kind);
        }
} 

public class Foo  {
    public static void main(String... arg) throws Exception {
        JavaCompilerTool javac = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompilerTool();
        JavaFileManager jfm = javac.getStandardFileManager(null);
        JavaFileObject jfo = jfm.getJavaFileForInput(CLASS_PATH,"Foo",SOURCE);
        System.out.println("From JavaFileManager       ->" + jfo.toString());
        SimpleJavaFileObject sjfo = new JFO(jfo.toUri(), SOURCE);
        System.out.println("From SimpleJavaFileObject  ->" + sjfo.toString());
    }
}
</testcase> 
<output>
From JavaFileManager       -> .\Foo.java
From SimpleJavaFileObject  -> file:/Y:/MustangTestDev/tools/jsr199/JavaFileObject/JFOTest05/./Foo.java from JFO
</output>

1) In the output of SimpleJavaFileObject.toString() extra message 'from JFO' is not required.
2) There is inconsistency in the toString() message of JavaFileObject of StandardJavaFileManager and SimpleJavaFileObject.toString(). SimpleJavaFileObject generate more of URI.

EVALUATION Since the method isn't internationalized, it would be better to change the returned string to something like: getClass().getName() + "[" + toUri() + "]"

EVALUATION To fix this problem, the URI returned by toUri() on the file object returned from DefaultFileManager should be fixed, not SimpleJavaFileObject.

10-10-2006

EVALUATION The "from JFO" part is intentional. However, the URI should be normalized.
