Description Svata Dedic 2002-04-26 14:14:22 UTC 
I often need to find a FileObject, starting from
the given one. Given the current APIs, I have to
descend into the fileobject tree manually, parsing
the path myself. I think a convenience method
would be very helpful.
I also think that there should be something like
getChild(String nameExt); current APIs require me
to parse the whole filename for extension and hand
them separately to the FileSystem API. Again, that
is incovenient.
If accepted as valid, I volunteer to create &
attach implementation patch :-)

I would accept it, but I wouldn`t add any new method. Perhaps method
getFileObject (you call it getChild) could be enough. If you pass name
that caontains '/', then it finds deeper in hierarchy. Also
getFileObject (String name) exists. I`ll check it and fix it to be
able pass name including extension.
