> In JCommander we need to display VFS URLs at many places in the GUI. We have two
> requirements: hide any password and display user friendly paths where possible.
> By user friendly paths we mean not displaying the file:// schema for local files
> and showing the path with the platform specific path separator.
> So for instance the ftp://user:pass@host.org/ is displayed as
> ftp://user@host.org. Also, under Windows, the file://c:/ URL is displayed as c:\
> We have a partially working implementation for this feature request which
> approaches things in reverse by using regular expression match and replace. This
> however is not the preferred way.
> I think that such a feature should be part of VFS itself. I would like to
> propose two API changes:
> 1. add the getFriendlyName() to the FileName interface - this method should work
> as specified above, except that the string should be internally built rather
> than regular expression based
> 2. change the toString() implementation of FileObject and FileName implementers
> in a way that by default no password to be displayed so that no passwords show
> up accidentally in log files
> Please let me know what do you think about this feature request. The JCommander
> team would be glad to provide a patch with the implementation if we can agree on
> how to change the interfaces.
