Description
JavaFileManager uses a String argument to determine the directory in which to create files identified by what are effectively relative path names.   Currently the set of acceptable string values is undefined. We should define the current set of locations needed by the tools, and provide string constants for optional cleint use.


Lack of the constants is setting us up for potential problems later.

Comments
EVALUATION Yes. Should clean up use of naked string constants, eg in JavacFiler
