File.renameTo() fails

Question

I have eclipse plugin jface application. A thread writes file via BufferedWriter. After writing is done I close the buffer after that I try to rename the file.

But

Answer 1

This is working fine for me. Rename is done using two steps but don't forget to set permissions in manifest.xml with:

public boolean RenameFile(String from, String to) { 
  to.replace(" ", ""); // clear all spaces within file name
  File oldfile = new File(from);
  File newfile = new File(to);
  File tempfile = new File(to + ".tmp"); // add extension .tmp
  oldfile.renameTo(tempfile);
  return (tempfile.renameTo(newfile));
}
