Elliotte Rusty Harold updated IO-834:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Many methods in this base class have no useful default implementation. E.g.

    public Writer getWriter(final Charset charset, final OpenOption... options) 
throws IOException {
        return Files.newBufferedWriter(getPath(), charset, options);
    }

This only works for files, but not for URIs, char sequences, byte sequences, 
etc. The file based methods should be pushed down into FileOrigin/PathOrigin 
and these methods should be abstract.

To avoid breaking API they can for now throw UnsuportedOperationException 
instead.
