    @Deprecated public ClassPathUtils()
    Deprecated.
    TODO Make private in 4.0.
    `ClassPathUtils` instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as `ClassPathUtils.toFullyQualifiedName(MyClass.class, "MyClass.properties");`.

    This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

- ## Method Details

  - ### packageToPath

    public static String packageToPath(String path)
    Converts a package name to a Java path ('/').
    Parameters:
      `path` - the source path.
    Returns:
      a package name.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `path` is null.
    Since:
      3.13.0

  - ### pathToPackage

    public static String pathToPackage(String path)
    Converts a Java path ('/') to a package name.
    Parameters:
      `path` - the source path.
    Returns:
      a package name.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `path` is null.
    Since:
      3.13.0

  - ### toFullyQualifiedName

    public static String toFullyQualifiedName(Class<?> context, String resourceName)
    Returns the fully qualified name for the resource with name `resourceName` relative to the given context.

    Note that this method does not check whether the resource actually exists. It only constructs the name. Null inputs are not allowed.

        ClassPathUtils.toFullyQualifiedName(StringUtils.class, "StringUtils.properties") = "org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.properties"

    Parameters:
      `context` - The context for constructing the name.
      `resourceName` - the resource name to construct the fully qualified name for.
    Returns:
      the fully qualified name of the resource with name `resourceName`.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if either `context` or `resourceName` is null.

  - ### toFullyQualifiedName

    public static String toFullyQualifiedName(Package context, String resourceName)
    Returns the fully qualified name for the resource with name `resourceName` relative to the given context.

    Note that this method does not check whether the resource actually exists. It only constructs the name. Null inputs are not allowed.

        ClassPathUtils.toFullyQualifiedName(StringUtils.class.getPackage(), "StringUtils.properties") = "org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils.properties"

    Parameters:
      `context` - The context for constructing the name.
      `resourceName` - the resource name to construct the fully qualified name for.
    Returns:
      the fully qualified name of the resource with name `resourceName`.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if either `context` or `resourceName` is null.

  - ### toFullyQualifiedPath

    public static String toFullyQualifiedPath(Class<?> context, String resourceName)
    Returns the fully qualified path for the resource with name `resourceName` relative to the given context.

    Note that this method does not check whether the resource actually exists. It only constructs the path. Null inputs are not allowed.

        ClassPathUtils.toFullyQualifiedPath(StringUtils.class, "StringUtils.properties") = "org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.properties"

    Parameters:
      `context` - The context for constructing the path.
      `resourceName` - the resource name to construct the fully qualified path for.
    Returns:
      the fully qualified path of the resource with name `resourceName`.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if either `context` or `resourceName` is null.

  - ### toFullyQualifiedPath

    public static String toFullyQualifiedPath(Package context, String resourceName)
    Returns the fully qualified path for the resource with name `resourceName` relative to the given context.

    Note that this method does not check whether the resource actually exists. It only constructs the path. Null inputs are not allowed.

        ClassPathUtils.toFullyQualifiedPath(StringUtils.class.getPackage(), "StringUtils.properties") = "org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.properties"

    Parameters:
      `context` - The context for constructing the path.
      `resourceName` - the resource name to construct the fully qualified path for.
    Returns:
      the fully qualified path of the resource with name `resourceName`.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if either `context` or `resourceName` is null.
