the biggest change is to use the java.nio.file.Path abstraction (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/file/Path.html) instead of manually manipulating slashes. this should make it more robust on different platforms, and more reasonable in the face of paths which contain semantically equivalent but syntactically different paths (e.g., multiple slashes in a row

or.
path components).it also improves readability by using methods with path-specific names instead of manipulating lists and strings. some other changes to add more comments and use more functional programming.
