> It is not possible to obtain VirtualFile (and by extensions it's physicalFile) instance wrapped in VirtualFileURLConnection without using reflection.
> Code snippet from Drools [1], where they try to get hold of {{VirtualFile#getPhysicalFile()}}:
> {code}
>     private static Object findVirtualFile( URL url ) throws IOException {
>         URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
>         try {
>             if ( urlConnection.getClass().getName().equals( "org.jboss.vfs.protocol.VirtualFileURLConnection" ) ) {
>                 Field f = urlConnection.getClass().getDeclaredField( "file" );
>                 f.setAccessible( true );
>                 return f.get( urlConnection );
>             }
>         } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
>             // ignored
>         }
>         return urlConnection.getContent();
>     }
> {code}
