# Class: com.pnfsoftware.jeb.util.net.URLUtil

Utility methods to manipulate URLs.

## Static Method: urlToFile
- parameter: `url`, type: `java.net.URL`
- return type: `java.io.File`

Description: Convert a URL to a File \(via a URI\). 

 Strangely enough, this non\-trivial operation also depends on the installed JRE \(See http://stackoverflow.com/q/6164448/950494 for pointers\). The code below requires Java 6. The "Paths" methods is more strict and also requires Java 7.
parameter: url: a URL
return: a file corresponding to the URL path
