To make it work on both Windows and Linux\OS X consider doing this:

String osAppropriatePath = System.getProperty( "os.name" ).contains( "indow" ) ? filePath.substring(1) : filePath;

If you want to worry about performance I'd store System.getProperty( "os.name" ).contains( "indow" ) as a constant like

private static final boolean IS_WINDOWS = System.getProperty( "os.name" ).contains( "indow" );

and then use:

String osAppropriatePath = IS_WINDOWS ? filePath.substring(1) : filePath;
