           Input: "/alpha/", "/beta/", "/gamma/"
           Output "/alpha/beta/gamma/

           Input: "alpha", "beta", "gamma"
           Output: "alpha/beta/gamma

      Parameters:
        `pieces` - Strings to concatenate together into a uri
      Returns:

    - #### public static java.lang.String applyRelativePath(java.lang.String path, java.lang.String relativePath)

      Apply the given relative path to the given path, assuming standard Java folder separation (i.e. "/" separators).

      Parameters:

      Returns:

    - #### @java.lang.Override public java.lang.Object call(java.lang.Object args)

    - #### public static java.lang.String classPackageAsResourcePath(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

      Given an input class object, return a string which consists of the class's package name as a pathname, i.e., all dots ('.') are replaced by slashes ('/'). Neither a leading nor trailing slash is added. The result could be concatenated with a slash and the name of a resource and fed directly to `ClassLoader.getResource()`. For it to be fed to `Class.getResource` instead, a leading slash would also have to be prepended to the returned value.

      Parameters:
        `clazz` - the input class. A `null` value or the default (empty) package will result in an empty string ("") being returned.
      Returns:
        a path which represents the package name
      See Also:
        java.lang.ClassLoader#getResource
        java.lang.Class#getResource

    - #### public static java.lang.String cleanPath(java.lang.String path)

      Normalize the path by suppressing sequences like "path/.." and inner simple dots.

      The result is convenient for path comparison. For other uses, notice that Windows separators ("\") are replaced by simple slashes.

      Parameters:
        `path` - the original path
      Returns:
        the normalized path

      Take a String which is a delimited list and convert it to a String array.

      A single delimiter can consists of more than one character: It will still be considered as single delimiter string, rather than as bunch of potential delimiter characters - in contrast to `tokenizeToStringArray`.

      Parameters:
        `str` - the input String
        `delimiter` - the delimiter between elements (this is a single delimiter, rather than a bunch individual delimiter characters)
      Returns:
        an array of the tokens in the list

    - #### private static java.lang.String[] delimitedListToStringArray(java.lang.String str, java.lang.String delimiter, java.lang.String charsToDelete)

      Take a String which is a delimited list and convert it to a String array.

      Parameters:
        `str` - the input String
        `delimiter` - the delimiter between elements (this is a single delimiter, rather than a bunch individual delimiter characters)
        `charsToDelete` - a set of characters to delete. Useful for deleting unwanted line breaks: e.g. "\\r\\n\\f" will delete all new lines and line feeds in a String.
      Returns:
        an array of the tokens in the list

    - #### public static java.net.URL extractJarFileURL(java.net.URL jarUrl)
