      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]

      ... 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?
