Question

Is it possible to get a Path object from a java.io.File?

Answer 1

As many have suggested, JRE v1.7 and above has File.toPath();

File yourFile = ...;
Path yourPath = yourFile.toPath();

On Oracle's jdk 1.7 documentation which is also mentioned in other posts above, the following equivalent code is described in the description for toPath() method, which may work for JRE v1.6;

File yourFile = ...;
Path yourPath = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(yourFile.getPath());
