Mario,
I've created an issue for this and added a sample implementation. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-103

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mario,
Is your idea about implementing this to modify the FileSystem interface so that each file system can return it's own roots? I noticed that it currently returns a single root as most Unix file systems do.

As far as the second part of the question is concerned, I implemented something simple that checks to see what OS is being used, and then creates the appropriate FileObjects. If you want I can post the code to the list. It might be useful as part of the LocalFileSystem. It doesn't require any native code.

I'll enter a JIRA issue outlining the basic requirements, and leave the details up to the implementer's discretion.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: Re: [VFS] File System Roots

Hi Mark!
Is there any easy way to get file system roots?

Not yet, but this is planned to implement somehow, it would be great if
you could open a JIRA ticket with it to not forget it.
The same API could/should be used to browse the network with SMB/JCIFS.

Also, is there a way to get the equivalents of the Application, Documents, Music, Movies, and Pictures directories on other operating systems?

No, and I don't know how to do it without native code.
I (personally) would not start developing native code stuff for VFS,
though, a rough idea could be to try to find a student for the next
Google SoC - if there is one and if no one else would start implementing
such stuff.


Ciao,
Mario
