Answer the file name which defines the type.
The path part (optional) must be separated from the actual
file proper name by a separator suitable for the type (java.io.File.separator for example),
e.g.
 "c:\\source\\com\\p\\X.java" or
 "/com/p/Y.java".
The path to the zip or jar file (optional) must be separated
from the actual path part by JAR_FILE_ENTRY_SEPARATOR,
e.g.
 "c:\\lib\\some.jar|/com/p/X.class" or
 "/lib/some.zip|/com/q/Y.class".
The proper file name includes the suffix extension (e.g. ".java")
e.g. "c:/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compileri/env/IDependent.java"
Return null if no file defines the type.
