The updated webrev now uses `exists()` in the new code:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/webrevs/linux-default-sf2/01/

(FWIW, some existing code already uses isFile() in that class/method).

I agree, but I would like to work on this as a separate patch. Most of
the code that calls `exists()` then proceeds to use `new
FileInputStream()` on the result, which will probably fail if it is a
directory. But it needs to be handled as an exception correctly.

Thanks,
