I/O in Java® 2 SDK

Documentation Contents
I/O in Java 2 SDK contains a number of significant changes to java.io.File, making it a true abstract representation of file and directory pathnames. Both the specification and implementation of this class have been thoroughly revised, giving support for new features such as temporary files, conversion of abstract pathnames to URL's, comparability, and access to additional file attributes.

New Features
