    Java 7 - java.nio.file.Path(s)

    aslak

      As Nicklas Karlsson so kindly pointed out, the upcoming Java 7 release has a some new classes in the nio package.

       

      * [java.nio.file.Path|http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Path.html]

      * [java.nio.file.Paths|http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Paths.html]

      {quote}

      ... java.io.file.Path, which in the new API is the equivalent to the java.io.File ...

      ShrinkWrap should probably support this in some future release, but the naming conflicts with our own classes:

      * org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.Path

      * org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.Paths

       

      Using all of these classes in the same API will make it a bit cumbersome.

      Think java.util.Date - java.sql.Date.

       

      Since it's fat chance we can get JDK 7 to change, I believe we should.

       

       

      * org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ArchivePath

      * org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ArchivePaths

       

      ??

       

      suggestions?
