<Swing Dev> JDK9 Review Request for 8067660: JFileChooser create new folder fails silently

[Rajeev Chamyal]

Hello Alexandr,

 

Thanks for the review.

I think other reason apart from access denied could be lack of space on device/drive.

The API documentation for File.mkdirs is not very clear on reasons when the method will return false.

Returns:

true if and only if the directory was created, along with all necessary parent directories; false otherwise.

Please let me know if your inputs on this.

 

Regards,

Rajeev Chamyal

Hello All,

 

Please review the following fix for Jdk9:
 
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8067660

Webrev: HYPERLINK "http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Erchamyal/8067660/webrev.00/"http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rchamyal/8067660/webrev.00/

Issue: jFileChooser create new folder fails silently on windows without any exception.

Fix: Throwing an IOException from GenericFileSystemView:: createNewFolder, WindowsFileSystemView:: createNewFolder and UnixFileSystemView:: createNewFolder if mkdirs call returns false.


    The exception message in the fix is: "Access denied".  Are there other reasons for which the File.mkdirs() can return false?

    Thanks,
    Alexandr.
