Well, VFS is alive in a manner that I try to fix major problems and 
reported bugs.

I decided to go in small steps as I use it in our project as 
java.io.File replacement (where possible) and thus have to ensure its 
stability. Currently I feel very comfortable about its stability.

As soon as I have more time I would like to implement something like 
file-locking.

You are right, I too think its time to discuss a plan how to migrate it 
to commons proper - I planed to poll for it in a couple of months. Not 
sure what the community thinks about it.

I would like to see what [transaction] 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/transaction/ do and if this could be 
used for this purpose.
A first look at it seems promising.

If possible the lock should be passed to the real filesystem too.

Ciao,
Mario

Hi -- I use it as a crucial piece of one of my projects
and it's behaving beautifully.. I'm all for moving
it to commons proper..

Cheers,

Yes, and the NFS support would be interesting too.. I saw it in the TO 
DO List.

Sure that it would be a good idea. !!
So, for now, I decided to keep it in my project but in a secure way (I 
encapsulate it in a single class to change it more easily.)
In some weeks, I will be more free time and I will spend some time 
reading the sources.

Thanks for answering...

Stéphane.
