public Files()

Method Detail

backup

public static File backup(File file,
                          boolean copy)

Backup the given file to a new file called <file-name>~. If the file does not exist or a backup could not be created, returns null.

revert

public static File revert(File backup,
                          boolean copy)

Revert the given backup file to the original location. If the given file's name does not end in '~', the '~' is appended before proceeding. If the backup file does not exist or could not be reverted, returns null.

getSourceFile

public static File getSourceFile(Class cls)

Return the source file for the given class, or null if the source is not in the CLASSPATH.

getClassFile

public static File getClassFile(Class cls)

Return the class file of the given class, or null if the class is in a jar.

getPackageFile

public static File getPackageFile(File base,
                                  String pkg,
                                  boolean mkdirs)

Return the file for the given package. If the given base directory matches the given package structure, it will be used as-is. If not, the package structure will be added beneath the base directory. If the base directory is null, the current working directory will be used as the base.

getFile

public static File getFile(String name,
                           ClassLoader loader)

Check the given string for a matching file. The string is first tested to see if it is an existing file path. If it does not represent an existing file, it is checked as a resource name of a file. If no resource exists, then it is interpreted as a path to a file that does not exist yet.

Parameters:

name - the file path or resource name

loader - a class loader to use in resource lookup, or null to use the thread's context loader

getWriter

public static Writer getWriter(String file,
                               ClassLoader loader)
                        throws IOException

Return a writer to the stream(stdout or stderr) or file named by the given string.

Throws:

IOException

getOutputStream

public static OutputStream getOutputStream(String file,
                                           ClassLoader loader)

Return an output stream to the stream(stdout or stderr) or file named by the given string.
