D'oh, good point about unit testing, Gary! Hasn't crossed my mind what a problem this could be h food for thought I suppose… I'll go and talk to my team after the holiday season see if I can pull some resources towards this. Thanks for the heads-up! Liv Liviu Tudor E:

Another angle to consider is whether this should be in VFS2 or in a new Java 7-based FileSystem library. Or both. The biggest hurdle I see is unit testing. Gary On Dec 23, 2011, at 21:34, Elijah Zupancic eli...@zupancic.name wrote: I would love to help out with this if there is support from

Instead of coding directly to S3, perhaps you can code to an abstraction library such as jclouds (http://www.jclouds.org/documentation/index) and let them handle the integration with the various cloud storage providers. You would get simplified testing and multi-provider support instead of an S3
