Hi

In various places we use java.io.File.[delete|mkdir] without respecting the return value. File.delete e.g. may just return false if the file/directory can't be deleted/created because of any other reason than a SecurityException [1].

Can this become a problem -> Jira or is it just a waste of thoughts? BTW in Java 7 this can be solved by using java.nio.file.Files [2] which throws an IOException in this case

Regards
Felix
