And to answer Chuck's question, his way did "work better" and that is
how I found out about the read-only attribute failure on write. I took
my code example from the JavaFS examples (which Pascal further
immortalized on the wiki). If its the wrong way, perhaps that should
be updated and/or give the reason why what it says is murderous :) The
latter is something I'm unsure of myself as I fell into that hole.

The real issue is that you do myFile.takeValueForKey ("/tmp/mytest", "absolutePath");
BEFORE inserting the new EO into the editing context.

I got the JavaFSAdaptor up and running, created a model, eogenerated,
and was able to create a file just fine. However, let's look at an
example that fails. I'm trying to set the content, which apparently
can only be a string:

EOClassDescription aClassDescription =
EOClassDescription.classDescriptionForEntityName("FSFile");
EOEditingContext ec = session().defaultEditingContext();

FSFile myFile = (FSFile)
aClassDescription.createInstanceWithEditingContext(ec, null);
myFile.takeValueForKey ("/tmp/mytest", "absolutePath");
ec.insertObject(myFile);

That seems somewhere between scary and dangerous.  How about this:

EOEditingContext ec = session().defaultEditingContext();
FSFile myFile = (FSFile)EOUtilities.createAndInsertInstance(ec, "FSFile");
myFile.takeValueForKey ("/tmp/mytest", "absolutePath");

then on with:

myFile.setContent("Good Test!");
ec.saveChanges();

Does that work any better?

Now, later when I reference that file from a fresh fetch, I do get
"Good Test!" when viewing the content. However, the file itself is
empty on the filesystem. Perhaps content isn't what I think it is.
Well, FSFile.name() is a method to get the filename for the given
file. Referencing that always returns null. So does FSfile.path().
Something is seriously not going as expected with this adaptor and/ or
I'm missing some basic understanding of what the EO purports to
support.
