removeDoubleDots

public static java.lang.String removeDoubleDots(java.lang.String pathname)

try to remove the '..' references from a like '/usr/local/java/docs/../readme.txt', to give '/usr/local/java/readme.txt'

makeRelativePathname

public static java.lang.String makeRelativePathname(java.lang.String pathname,
                                                    java.lang.String directory)

construct a relative path/filename from an absolute pathname and a given directory pathname. The resulting relative pathname always uses "/" as the separator char. Use String.replace() to convert this to non-Unix/non-URL conventions, if necessary.

For example, given the inputs "/users/hugo/tmp/images/icon.gif" (absolute filename) "/users/hugo/presentations" (directory) this method returns the relative filename "../images/icon.gif"

Note 1: WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IF NO COMMON PATH IS FOUND?

Note 2: methods trying to read from the relative pathname need to understand the ".." syntax to mean "parent directory".
