Legacy java.io.File and new FileSystems

I've just started looking at some of the new jdk7 API's and am unsure  
about something.
Is there anyway legacy java.io.File can use a new user provided  
FileSystem?
I have seen the argument that it would of been difficult to  
impossible to retrofit a lot of the new features to the File class so  
it was moved to the Path class.
But is this also true of the FileSystem API?
Is there some way it can be indicated that a legacy java.io.File  
instance should use a new alternate FileSystem instead of the  
platform provided?
