>Description:
Sun's `new java.io.File("").getCanonicalFile()' returns a File for the
current directory. libgcj currently throws an IOException.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the following...
public class foo
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
try {
System.out.println (new java.io.File("").getCanonicalFile ());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println (e);
}
}
}
>Fix:
This idiom is actually used in some free software. The work-around on
posixy systems is to change "" to ".".
