Before I decide to make it public (and non final) could you please explain in short what you try to do?
I'm working to persuade my group to drop an inhouse implementation of a java.io.File-extended hierarchy and switch to VFS's FileName/FileObject instead. We have a mess; you have a clean design.
Of the existing providers, local is the best fit to our file-like objects so I wanted to extend LocalFile (why is it not LocalFileObject, BTW? I'm a nit for consistency.) I was hoping to simply extend LocalFile and override the few spots that differed (such as supporting attributes).
Simply as a matter of preference, I dislike final classes as it discourages reuse. I know this is not a clear-cut issue.
