Tweaking the behavior of the default file system in Java 7
Java 7 introduces a great API for writing custom file systems. Consider a use case where I don't want to implement a new file system, I just want to tweak the behavior of the existing one. For example, flip every bit that is written/read from it. It seems to me that the current jdk just does not have the appropriate facilities for this. AbstractFileSystemProvider, the provider that WindowsFileSystemProvider extends is package-private so I can't reuse it. I didn't even find the concrete implementation for Linux. Problem #1: There is no useful abstraction of the current file system for extension
