> File.length() is called multiple times in the code of the project, some of them might be problematic due to the contract of this method: it silently returns 0 in case of any I/O error.
> Examples: FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(), FileUtils.sizeOf(), etc.
> Some uses of File.lastModified() might be problematic for similar reasons.
