How to check if a folder exists

Question

I am playing a bit with the new Java 7 IO features, actually I trying to receive all the xml files of a folder. But this throws an exception when the folder does not exist,

You need to transform your Path into a File and test for existence:

for(Path entry: stream){
  if(entry.toFile().exists()){
    log.info("working on file " + entry.getFileName());
  }
}
