Interface MutableFile

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultMutableFile

public interface MutableFile

Represents a handle to a file (not a directory) that can be legally modified.

It is critical that classes using MutableFile close any streams acquired from the file before further UndoManager operations. Failure to do so many compromise the ability of UndoManager to operate correctly.

Implementations must guarantee that the file physically exists and is indeed a file. Specifically, MutableFile implementations should not exist for directories or non-existent files.
