Tibor Digana commented on MNG-6444: ----------------------------------- Not sure if users or developers of external plugins would notice a change in internal Maven code with this improvement. Does it include changing e.g. the returned type of the call {{Artifact.getFile()}}? Because this would be benefit in the development of external plugins. > Internal code should prefer Path over File > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-6444 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6444 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Assignee: Robert Scholte > Priority: Minor > Labels: requires-java8 > > Goal is to replace all '{{new File(}}' appearances with Path / Paths > https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Path.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
