Java File System Api getting a make over

Posted: November 15th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Java Ruled | Tags: | No Comments »

I was just reading upcoming changes in Java 7, and I was very excited. One thing I found out that java.io.File getting a make over.

Here are the things that going to be added to the Java 7 release,

  • FileRef – represents file object in system
  • Path – extends FileRef, binds a file to a system-dependent location
  • FileSystem – interface to file system FileStore – underlying storage system

I am planning to put a post once I find an example using the new api.


Warm November

Blame it on global warming but I ll take this warm weather we are having in any given day. As we all know, when it comes November, Minneapolis is not known for warm, sunny weather. Normally by this time we get ready to bundle up before getting out from house. Also, its not unusual to see couple of inches of snow on the ground. But, its almost mid November, and I still can drive my car with windows rolled down. Simply unbelievable. So far we had July weather in June, June weather in July, October weather in November and November weather in October.

We have so confused mother nature and she can’t figure out which month should get its respective weather. Hopefully she will stay in this state of mind till next spring.

I was doing my regular daily doze of technical reading and stumble upon Jeff Bonwick’s blog. Sounds like deduplication is a great concept. I think this might be very helpful reducing the size of the repositories. But more than any thing I was thrilled about his previous post. ZFS is available on Snow Leopard. Wow!!!, as you may know from my previous posts, I switch to mac just about a month ago. And I must say somehow my mac book pro able fascinate me in daily basis. And this was another example.
