new File（“”）vs. new File（“。”）：功能还是Bug？

new File("")并new File(".")产生相同的规范路径，但前一个对象是不可分解的。考虑下面的代码，以及两个对象如何返回相同的规范路径。该文档指出规范路径是“绝对的和唯一的”。但是只有用“。”创建的文件。论点实际上是有用的。

难道不应该在某个时候抛出异常吗？是在空字符串构造函数调用中（因为创建的对象似乎无效），还是至少在getCanonicalPath中（至少声明了IOException）？

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public abstract class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        testFile("");
        testFile(".");
    }

    private static void testFile(String arg) throws IOException {
        System.out.format("File constructor argument: \"%s\"\n", arg);
        File g = new File(arg);
      System.out.format("toString()            = \"%s\"\n", g.toString());
        System.out.format("getAbsolutePath()     = \"%s\"\n", g.getAbsolutePath());
        System.out.format("getAbsoluteFile()     = \"%s\"\n", g.getAbsoluteFile());
        System.out.format("getgetCanonicalPath() = \"%s\"\n", g.getCanonicalPath());
        System.out.format("getgetCanonicalFile() = \"%s\"\n", g.getCanonicalFile());
        System.out.format("exists()              = %s\n", g.exists());
        System.out.format("isDirectory()         = %s\n", g.isDirectory());
        System.out.println();
  }
}

以及它产生的输出：

File constructor argument: ""
toString()            = ""
getAbsolutePath()     = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
getAbsoluteFile()     = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
getgetCanonicalPath() = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
getgetCanonicalFile() = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
exists()              = false
isDirectory()         = false

File constructor argument: "."
toString()            = "."
getAbsolutePath()     = "C:\usr\workspace\Test\."
getAbsoluteFile()     = "C:\usr\workspace\Test\."
getgetCanonicalPath() = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
getgetCanonicalFile() = "C:\usr\workspace\Test"
exists()              = true
isDirectory()         = true
