Dominik Derwiński commented on IO-695:
--------------------------------------
{noformat}
* <strong>Note:</strong> Setting <code>preserveFileDate</code> to {@code
true} tries to preserve the file's last
* modified date/times using {@link File#setLastModified(long)}, however it
is not guaranteed that the operation
* will succeed. If the modification operation fails, the methods throws
IOException.

Guess I'll have to settle with just corrected javadoc. But it's still an
improvement, when you can't be nastily surprised by undocumented exception,
right?
