question: there is some ambiguity here . an absolute path is a slash relative name without a scheme or an authority . so either this method was incorrectly named or its implementation is incorrect . this method returns true even if there is a scheme and authority . concode_field_sep char SEPARATOR_CHAR concode_elem_sep Pattern hasDriveLetterSpecifier concode_elem_sep String SEPARATOR concode_elem_sep boolean WINDOWS concode_elem_sep String CUR_DIR concode_elem_sep URI uri concode_elem_sep Pattern hasUriScheme concode_field_sep Path getParent concode_elem_sep String getName concode_elem_sep boolean isRoot concode_elem_sep URI toUri concode_elem_sep FileSystem getFileSystem concode_elem_sep int compareTo concode_elem_sep Path suffix concode_elem_sep Path mergePaths concode_elem_sep Path getPathWithoutSchemeAndAuthority concode_elem_sep int depth concode_elem_sep boolean hasWindowsDrive concode_elem_sep int hashCode concode_elem_sep void checkNotSchemeWithRelative concode_elem_sep boolean isUriPathAbsolute concode_elem_sep boolean equals concode_elem_sep Path makeQualified concode_elem_sep Path makeQualified concode_elem_sep void checkNotRelative concode_elem_sep boolean isWindowsAbsolutePath concode_elem_sep String toString concode_elem_sep void initialize concode_elem_sep boolean isAbsoluteAndSchemeAuthorityNull concode_elem_sep void checkPathArg concode_elem_sep String normalizePath
