And here goes the fix (I gues it was developers mistype to return instead of modifying the input buffer) 	
Buggy code is remd out:

private String mergePathsRemoveDots(String basePath) {
        int slash = basePath.lastIndexOf('/');
        StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
        if (slash!=-1)
            output.append(basePath.substring(0,slash+1));
        if (base.dotsOK()&&rel.dotsOK()) {
            String relPath = rel.getRawPath();

            if (relPath.startsWith("./")) {
                //return basePath + relPath.substring(2);
            	relPath = relPath.substring(2); //fix by marcus
            }

            while (relPath.startsWith("../")) {
                relPath = relPath.substring(3);
                removeLastSeqment2(output);
            }
            if (relPath.equals("..") ) {
                relPath = "";
                removeLastSeqment2(output);
            }
            if (relPath.equals(".") ) {
                relPath = "";
            }
            output.append(relPath);
            return output.toString();
        }
        output.append(rel.getRawPath());
        return removeDotSegments(output.toString());
    }

Subject: IRI.resolve ./ question - maybe lame question maybe bug report ?

Hi there.
We are evaluating Java APIs conforming to (or claiming conformance) 
RFC 3986.

Your API and implementation has been evaluated as the BEST.

Pseudocode:

IRI(http://a/b/c/d;p?q).resolve(./) should yeald http://a/b/c/
Correct ? (based on RFC  down there)

However, regardless How do I write the code I always get 
http://a/b/c/d;p

no warnings of violations

Please any comments on this issue ? (even JDK buggy java.net.URI resolves this as expected)

RFC:

5.4 Reference Resolution Examples 

Within a representation with a well defined base URI of 
http://a/b/c/d;p?q 
a relative reference is transformed to its target URI as follows.

5.4.1 Normal Examples 

      "./"            =  "http://a/b/c/"

------------------------
My code snipped: 

String base="http://a/b/c/d;p?q";
String reference="./";

String expected="http://a/b/c/";
IRIFactory fact=IRIFactory.iriImplementation(); 

IRI b=fact.construct(base); 
IRI r=fact.construct(reference); 
IRI	o=b.resolve(r);

out.write(o.toString());
out.write("<br>");
out.write(r.toString());
out.write("<br>");
out.write(expected+"<hr>"+o.toString().equals(expected));
out.write("<hr>"+b.hasViolation(true));
out.write("<hr>"+r.hasViolation(true));
out.write("<hr>"+o.hasViolation(true));
