Sensless feedback loop

[coladict]

JimfsFileSystemProvider#getFileSystem(URI) and JimfsFileSystemProvider#getPath(URI) just throw exceptions telling you to use FileSystems.getFileSystem(URI) and Paths.get(URI) respectively, but those recommended methods just fall back on calling these ones that throw unconditional exceptions.

Expectation:

You call Paths.get(URI) where the URI has a jimfs scheme and you get a Path object.

Reality:

You get an exception saying This method should not be called directly; use Paths.get(URI) instead.

Hmm. JimfsFileSystemProvider's documentation says that it is not the class that's used by FileSystems.getFileSystem(URI) and Paths.get(URI). Instead, SystemJimfsFileSystemProvider is the class registered for those methods, and that class correctly implements those two methods.

Can you paste a small reproducing program here?
