Yes, jdk7 is done and it's impossible to get changes in now. There's 
nothing magically about the getFileName method. It simply returns a path 
representing the file name and so you get a relative path with a single 
name element. I wouldn't say this is undefined but if we get a chance in 
the future then we can add wording to make this clearer.
