Hi all, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this question but if in case its not please direct me to the correct forum.
I was trying to shift from old file API to NIO API (using JDK 7 update 6) but I found that on Windows (I have Windows 7) platform if I have read only file then File#delete() call will delete the file while Files#delete(Path) fails with exception (java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException), I'm not sure whether this is known issue but since Files#delete(Path) offers better error handling I would like to use Files#delete(Path). My question is - Is there any workaround for this problem in NIO API or should I stick to old File API because of this. Also I was curios why Files#delete(Path) throws exception but File#delete() executes successfully. PS: I asked this question[1] on stackoverflow but did not get any good response. 1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12139482/difference-between-filesdeletepath-and-filedelete/ -- Premraj
