> From File#delete Javadoc:
> {noformat}
> <p> Note that the {@link java.nio.file.Files} class defines the 
> {@link java.nio.file.Files#delete(Path) delete} method to throw
> an {@link IOException} when a file cannot be deleted. This is 
> useful for error reporting and to diagnose why a file cannot be
>  deleted.

>  This change is possible now that 2.6 requires Java 7.
