This is not specific to Eclipse platform.
It's a general Java anti-pattern to use URL class for adresses if you aren't
sure you'll use it for a connection.
"Linters" like SpotBugs or
SonarLint help by reminding this rule whenever there is a questionable
usage of URL.

Hello platform-ui!  Apologies if
this is an abuse of the mailing list, the archive
search is down, and I wasn't
able to find information on this anywhere else.

I have a distinct memory of an EclipseCon
talk about avoiding either URL or URI, because it triggered network requests
and was slow.  I can't find it, or any reference to it.  Does
anyone else remember this, or have any hints for how to find it?

Thanks!
