I'm in the process of creating a file browser-like tool in JavaFX, and my original intent was to use VFS as the underlying file system abstraction. After looking at a lot of the features in Java 7 and 8 (like DirectoryStreams, parallelStreams, and lambdas) I'm now having second thoughts. So I'd be really interested to learn what the "future directions of VFS" will be. Is the goal to create an adapter layer between the NIO file system, and VFS, and perhaps gradually remove that layer and replace it with direct adapters for each of the file systems? Or is there some commitment from the jCIFS, jackrabbit, and other teams to provide NIO adapters directly? Is there a wiki page, or a thread I should look at? Is there a time frame when this will happen? Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to ApacheCon.
