Just my 2 bits, but using getCanonicalPath() is usually a code smell;
unless it's explicitly necessary (i.e. you know you have a symlink and you want
to remove the actual file it references), it's generally better to use
getAbsolutePath().
(Not that I think this applies here, but just commenting on the choice of
API.)
