FileURL (JAXB2 Plugin - Non null getter 2.0.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.resolver.helpers.FileURL

```
public abstract class FileURL
extends Object
```
Static method for dealing with file: URLs.
This class defines a static method that can be used to construct an appropriate file: URL from parts. It's defined here so that it can be reused throught the resolver.

(Yes, I'd rather have called this class FileURI, but given that a jave.net.URL is returned, it seemed...even more confusing.)

public static URL makeURL(String pathname)
                   throws MalformedURLException
```
    Construct a file: URL for a path name.
    URLs in the file: scheme can be constructed for paths on the local file system. Several possibilities need to be considered:
    
    If the path does not begin with a slash, then it is assumed to reside in the users current working directory (System.getProperty("user.dir")).
    
    On Windows machines, the current working directory uses backslashes (\\, instead of /).
    
    If the current working directory is "/", don't add an extra slash before the base name.
    
    This method is declared static so that other classes can use it directly.
    Parameters:
    
    pathname - The path name component for which to construct a URL.
    
    Returns:
    
    The appropriate file: URL.
    
    Throws:
    
    MalformedURLException - if the pathname can't be turned into a proper URL.
