      It is not possible to obtain VirtualFile (and by extensions it's physicalFile) instance wrapped in VirtualFileURLConnection without using reflection.

      Code snippet from Drools [1], where they try to get hold of VirtualFile#getPhysicalFile():

          private static Object findVirtualFile( URL url ) throws IOException {
        URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
        try {
            if ( urlConnection.getClass().getName().equals( "org.jboss.vfs.protocol.VirtualFileURLConnection" ) ) {
                Field f = urlConnection.getClass().getDeclaredField( "file" );
                f.setAccessible( true );
                return f.get( urlConnection );
            }
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
            // ignored
        }
        return urlConnection.getContent();
    }
