Description Ondrej Rypacek 2003-05-26 15:05:30 UTC 
It is not very clear what is the contents of a
FileSet. At some places, it looks like it contains
just java.net.URLs, but it is not consistently used. 

- e.g. Content.contains() takes Object as the
parameter -- why not URL? 
- at other places, the doc speaks just about
"objects" , "resources" etc. It should be
normalized just to URL (if that's the case).
- moreover, the methods
FileSets.createFileObjectSet, createDataObjectSet
suggest that it does not contain just URL but
anything. 

Please, clear these ambiguities out - correct
signatures of methods to be as specific as
possible, correct/add documentation.
Comment 1 Ondrej Rypacek 2003-06-11 16:58:42 UTC 
I was explained in person that FileSets always return URLs, no matter
what are they built from. We agreed that this is not clear from the
javadoc - it will be corrected.
