Interface PathRoot

All Known Subinterfaces:
ManagedDirectory
public interface PathRoot
A path-like object that can provide a Java NIO Path.

This enables wrapping various implementations and providers of Path objects in a translucent façade that enables representing paths in a hierarchical format.

  • Method Details

    • asJar

      byte[] asJar()
      Convert the given path root into a JAR and return the byte contents of the JAR.

      You can use this to create JAR files from existing path roots, if you want to package some compiled outputs into a JAR to use them as inputs to another build.

      Returns:
      the byte contents of the JAR.
      Throws:
      UncheckedIOException - if the JAR cannot be created.
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the operation is not supported.

      0.4.0

    • equals

      boolean equals(@Nullable Object other)
      Determine if two path roots are equivalent. If the provided object is null or not an instance of a PathRoot, then this will return false unless otherwise specified.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      other - the object to compare with.
      Returns:
      true if semantically equal, or false otherwise.

    • hashCode

      int hashCode()
      Determine the hash-code for the object.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      the hash code.

    • getPath

      Path getPath()
      Get the Java NIO Path for this path-like object.
      Returns:
      the path.
      See Also:

    • getUri

      URI getUri()
      Get a URI representation of this path-like object.
      Returns:
      the URI.
      See Also:

    • getUrl

      URL getUrl()
      Get a URL representation of this path-like object.
      Returns:
      the URL.
      See Also:

    • getParent

      @Nullable PathRoot getParent()
      Get the parent path root, if there is one.
      Returns:
      the parent path root, or null if no parent root exists.
