<include> tag won't work on Windows

The following binding

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<binding>
<include path="contact/Contact.jibx.xml"/>
<mapping name="customer" class="Customer">
<structure field="contact"/>
</mapping>
</binding>

Produces the following error:

Using bindings:
config/Customer.jibx.xml

java.net.UnknownHostException: C

The problem seems to be the way the base url is constructed, in
Utility.java:389

return loadBinding(fname, sname, new FileInputStream(file), new
URL("file://" + file.getAbsolutePath()), valid);

the resulting url “file://C:/xxx” appears to be
badly escaped, resulting in incorrect URL.

The following change seems to work

return loadBinding(fname, sname, new FileInputStream(file),
file.toURL(), valid);
