The provider itself was intended for use by any application that wanted java access to the supported Mac native api’s. The FileManager class demonstrated such application usage.

I did. Earlier in this thread I had provided a simple test case. When I didn’t seem to be making progress there I went back to my full code.

Not familiar with Apache VFS
