EVALUATION
The behavior of the standard file manager returned by
javax.tools.JavaCompiler.getStandardFileManager must
be clarified either by amending the specification of
that method or the interface
javax.tools.StandardJavaFileManager.
The specification must clarify the behavior of not only
the file manger but also the file objects returned by
that file manager. At least the following topics should
be covered:
* the format of URIs returned from these objects
* the behavior of methods like delete, getLastModified,
etc.
