Valerio,
Thanks for the input, however, I'm trying to use the VFS library to
handle the file operations. This would allow me to rename files sitting
on NFS volumes, or WebDAV volumes. The example you gave me was for the
java.io.File object which would only work for local files.
Thanks anyway,
Mark

4. I'd like to be able to rename a file. But I don't see a very
straightforward way of doing it. There's a move method, and a
canBeRenamedTo method, but nothing that explicitly allows me to
rename the file and that takes a string. This might be added to
FileUtil if you want to keep the current API the same.
my 2 cents:
// File (or directory) with old name
File file = new File(*"oldname"*);
// File (or directory) with new name
File file2 = new File(*"newname"*);
// Rename file (or directory)
boolean success = file.renameTo(file2);
if (!success) {
// File was not successfully renamed
}
hope it helps.
cheers,
valerio
5. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to "select" a file. For
example, if you are creating a table model and you want to display
a checkbox to indicate that the file is selected, there isn't a
method like "isSelected" to determine if the file is currently
selected.
