Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6444:
-------------------------------------
Changing the returnType for getFile() would break a a lot of plugins. Since it
is an interface, we should add a default method getPath(), but that requires
Java 8. That's out of scope for this ticket.
> Internal code should prefer Path over File
