Thread: How to make Netbeans know about java.nio.file copyTo?

I'm new to Java, experienced with C. I am using Netbeans 7.0 Beta 2 on a windows XP PC as my IDE for JDK7. I have successfully tested several small apps. Now I want to write an app using JDK7 java.nio.file copyTo functionality.

Here is the code I am starting with

package filecopy;
 
import static java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption.*;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKind.*;
 
public class FileCopy {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Path fromFilePath = Paths.get("C:\\aaaaa.jpg");
        Path toFilePath = Paths.get("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\Desktop.aaaaa.jpg");
 
        fromFilePath.copyTo(toFilePath, REPLACE_EXISTING, COPY_ATTRIBUTES);
 
        return;
    }
}

The line "fromFilePath.copyTo(toFilePath, REPLACE_EXISTING, COPY_ATTRIBUTES);" is flagged in error with the message:

cannot find symbol
symbol: method copyTo(java.nio.file.Path,java.nio.file.StandardCo pyOption,java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption)
location: interface java.nio.file.Path

I would be very appreciative if anyone would suggest what I should do to make copyTo known to the IDE.

Yes! Thank you much. I got my information about copyTo from:

Copying a File or Directory (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Basic I/O)

Could that be a document describing future plans or ?

Thanks again,
Jeff
