Does anyone know what happened to the path.exists() API method in the latest Java 7 API? I cannot find the change in the change logs, and between b123 and b130, the method has been removed from the API.I see that there is a static Files.exists method but I'm not sure if that is the replacement or not.
Is anyone following the Java 7 work close enough to know how this should be handled?
Thanks for any help.

io. File. exists() is used to check whether a file or a directory exists or not. This method returns true if the file or directory specified by the abstract path name exists and false if it does not exist.
The getAbsolutePath() method is a part of File class. This function returns the absolute pathname of the given file object. If the pathname of the file object is absolute then it simply returns the path of the current file object. For Example: if we create a file object using the path as “program.
Important methods of Path InterfacegetFileName() − Returns the file system that created this object. getName() − Returns a name element of this path as a Path object. getNameCount() − Returns the number of name elements in the path.
Files.existsLook in the Files class for the static methods exists() and notExists(). Both take a Path.
I guess they decided it made more sense as a static rather than instance method.
