Are you looking for the resolve methods? For the above then 
Paths.get("/home/foo").resolve("tmp") will do it. The resolve methods 
are actually more functional than the 2-arg File constructor in that 
they know how to resolve all combinations of paths (important on 
platforms like Windows where there are at least 5 types of paths).
