[VFS] Java.nio.FileSystem

["Schalk W. Cronjé" <ys...@gmail.com>]

(Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything related).

Since Java7, Java.nio.FileSystem and related classes are available. To a great extent this seems to have the same goal as what Apache VFS. It only has file:// implemented and relies on third parties to do the rest.

Has anyone given thought of porting the VFS file system providers to work with this?

Yes, it's been briefly discussed.

This would be possible in a new major version of VFS. We really should
release 2.1... Like all projects, it's a matter of finding the time. I
would like to see 2.1 done ASAP and then start work a new major
release for Java 7 that uses the NIO API. No schedule known.
