That was specifically written against nio.2, which means it requires java 7 to compile and run. It does both - unless this compile breaking thing is more recent than when I did the FileManager using parts?

I just checked into it and NONCOREPKGS.gmk has these listed so it shouldn't be an issue with builds of jdk7u (sorry about that, I shouldn't have trusted the bug that you sent a link to). However they are not in the symbol file generated in the jdk8 build - that is due to a small bug in the make file that seems to have come in when moving to the new build in 8. What would it take for the JavaDoc for these classes to also be generated?

I would also be a little curious about this especially since I was having a little trouble finding html on the Apple pages. Where else would we be able to see the doc for these?
