Missing scheme (IllegalArgumentException) while using java.nio.file.Paths interface

Question

this is a really simple java question. I am using Java 8 with eclipse kepler on a linux system. I\'ve been trying to try out NIO.2. My code is:

package lucasTest         


        

Answer 1

Your uri declaration is missing the scheme for files (file:///):

u = new URI("file:///./Lucas.java");
Path p = Paths.get(u);          

should work. As an alternative you can try

 Path p2 = Paths.get(".", "Lucas.java");
