Where is java.nio.file

Question

I am reading java documentation that tells me there should be a java.nio.file namespace. But when I attempt to import it the precompiler is complaining that it doesn't exist.

What's up?

Answer 1

java.nio.file is coming in Java 7. It's not in Java 6 or before.

You must be reading the JDK7 docs.

Until then, you're stuck with the steaming heap of unpleasantness that is java.io.File.
