If we let the tokenizer elide all repeated slashes this would make it accept manifest Class-Path entries which had previously been rejected. I don't think we should break any existing standard (whether de jure or de facto) unless we really need to. Right, a uri with a trailing '/' indicates a directory and needs to be reflected in the vfs names. There is no such thing as an empty, nameless directory in the vfs so repeated '/' should be collapsed into a single '/' by the tokenizer. Create a JBVFS issue if you can, currently I can't get in.
