Is there anything that would prevent us from throwing the IOException from the old constructor? If we for example can't get the information of the file because we have not enough rights to access it we would now get an exception which the user can handle. I haven't checked what the old File API does in this case (fail silently or a runtime exception?). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
