With   0.7.0b5  SmbFile  constructors  do  not  throw  UnknownHostException
(however  there  is  a very small possibilty it might go back in before the
betas  are  done  depending  on  how  outstanding URL handling concerns are
resolved).

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
