"If the other parameter is an absolute path then this method trivially returns other." In your example you are not using an absolute path so this is not the case.resolve
Path resolve(Path other)
Resolve the given path against this path.
If the other parameter is an absolute path then this method trivially returns other. If other is an empty path then this method trivially returns this path. Otherwise this method considers this path to be a directory and resolves the given path against this path. In the simplest case, the given path does not have a root component, in which case this method joins the given path to this path and returns a resulting path that ends with the given path. Where the given path has a root component then resolution is highly implementation dependent and therefore unspecified.
Parameters:
other - the path to resolve against this path
The example case is:
"Where the given path has a root component then resolution is highly implementation dependent and therefore unspecified."
If it was an absolute path it would have started with c://.
Therefore the answer should be it's system dependent. Isnt' it?
