/**
 * Factory methods for file systems. This class defines the {@link #getDefault
 * getDefault} method to get the default file system and factory methods to
 * construct other types of file systems.
 *
 * <p> The first invocation of any of the methods defined by this class causes
 * the default {@link FileSystemProvider provider} to be loaded. The default
 * provider, identified by the URI scheme "file", creates the {@link FileSystem}
 * that provides access to the file systems accessible to the Java virtual
 * machine. If the process of loading or initializing the default provider fails
 * then an unspecified error is thrown.
 *
 * <p> The first invocation of the {@link FileSystemProvider#installedProviders
 * installedProviders} method, by way of invoking any of the {@code
 * newFileSystem} methods defined by this class, locates and loads all
 * installed file system providers. Installed providers are loaded using the
 * service-provider loading facility defined by the {@link ServiceLoader} class.
 * Installed providers are loaded using the system class loader. If the
 * system class loader cannot be found then the extension class loader is used;
 * if there is no extension class loader then the bootstrap class loader is used.
 * Providers are typically installed by placing them in a JAR file on the
 * application class path or in the extension directory, the JAR file contains a
 * provider-configuration file named {@code java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider}
 * in the resource directory {@code META-INF/services}, and the file lists one or
 * more fully-qualified names of concrete subclass of {@link FileSystemProvider}
 * that have a zero argument constructor.
 * The ordering that installed providers are located is implementation specific.
 * If a provider is instantiated and its {@link FileSystemProvider#getScheme()
 * getScheme} returns the same URI scheme of a provider that was previously
 * instantiated then the most recently instantiated duplicate is discarded. URI
 * schemes are compared without regard to case. During construction a provider
 * may safely access files associated with the default provider but care needs
 * to be taken to avoid circular loading of other installed providers. If
 * circular loading of installed providers is detected then an unspecified error
 * is thrown.
 *
 * <p> This class also defines factory methods that allow a {@link ClassLoader}
 * to be specified when locating a provider. As with installed providers, the
 * provider classes are identified by placing the provider configuration file
 * in the resource directory {@code META-INF/services}.
 *
 * <p> If a thread initiates the loading of the installed file system providers
 * and another thread invokes a method that also attempts to load the providers
 * then the method will block until the loading completes.
