RE: Problems with File.java when running Jigsaw with ORP plus Cla sspath

[Wu, Gansha]

Our current patch is somewhat ad hoc like this:
    if (path.startsWith(separator))
         return(path);
+  if (pathSeparatorChar != ':' &&
+       path.charAt(1) == ':')
+       return path;

    return(System.getProperty("user.dir") + separator + path);

As I said, a better way to achieve this is to delegate these platform-dependent 
judgements to a standalone platform-wise class, because there're other places 
also have the same problem. I haven't found such infrastructure in Classpath 
yet. It seems to need considerable resources to do the refactoring stuff.
