new URL("c:/dir/file") OR new URL("c:\dir\file") OR new
URL("file://c:/dir/file")

What is the correct syntax ? Is it the same as a new File ?FileDialog send:
"c:\Program Files\dir\file".
I have the feeling that different classes (File, URL, URl) have the
different syntax. Please say a), b) or c) and answer me does it is same for
all java classes which ask for a file path?

Try File.toURI().toURL() and see the result, or use this expression as
is.

URL("file://c:/dir/file") is okay, since it includes a valid protocol,
'file:' , and forward slashes .
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URL.html

this works:
URL
maxFile=TestMaxJmeWrite.class.getClassLoader().getResource("jmetest/data/mod
el/Character.3DS");

and this don't:
URL maxFile=new URL("file://d:/Character.3ds");

Finally this works:
URL maxFile=new URL("file:/d:/Character.3ds"); //not file://
but still can't figure out why all classes don't have the same syntax.
Somewhere "fille://" works

The semantics is that // indicates a remote resource, e.g. a file on a
remote server could be

file://servername.foo.com/ExportedFolder/theFile.txt

Implicitly an empty server indication means the local machine, so

file:///d:/Character.3ds

should work.
