getAbsolutePath(java.lang.String absolutePath, java.lang.String relativePath) resolves an absolute path against a relative path to get an absolute path case insensitive examples of input/output combinations: ---- absolutePath="c:\\folder1\\" relativePath=".\\sub-folder1\\" getAbsolutePath="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\" ---- absolutePath="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\" relativePath="..\\..\\folder2\\" getAbsolutePath="c:\\folder2\\" ---- absolutePath="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\" relativePath="..\\..\\folder2\\file.txt" getAbsolutePath="c:\\folder2\\file.txt" ----

static java.lang.String

getRelativePath(java.lang.String absolutePath1, java.lang.String absolutePath2) resolves an absolute path against another to get a relative path case insensitive examples of input/output combinations: ---- absolutePath1="c:\\folder1\\" absolutePath2="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\" getRelativePath=".\\sub-folder1\\" ---- absolutePath1="c:\\folder1\\" absolutePath2="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\file.txt" getRelativePath=".\\sub-folder1\\file.txt" ---- absolutePath1="c:\\folder1\\sub-folder1\\" absolutePath2="c:\\folder2\\" getRelativePath="..\\..\\folder2\\" ---- if the drives are different then an absolute path must be returned, for example: absolutePath1="c:\\folder1\\" absolutePath2="d:\\folder2\\" getRelativePath="d:\\folder2\\" ----
