It's valid - but it looks strange to me; I would expect a user name after the '@'.

valid point ... then it seems that we have to continue the contest :-)


AFAIU, we have to register our own protocols. For that purpose we have to call http://javadoc.developintelligence.com/java/net/URL.html#setURLStreamHandlerFactory(java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory) and according to the javadocs it can only be called once per JVM. Is it a good idea to rely on having to be the first?

Yes, this is what the docs say - but there are solutions which work even if you're not first, e.g. equinox is doing this. So it's technically possible and it makes using custom protocols even easier.

I thought that there was some solution but wasn't sure whether we could use if for our own purpose.

I don't say that we should switch from source resolver to url and change everything we have; I just want to point out, that we should keep this in mind when creating urls.

ok.
