Get java.nio.file.Path object from java.io.File

file, java, java-6, path

Solution

Yes, you can get it from the `File` object by using `File.toPath()`. Keep in mind that this is only for Java 7+. Java versions 6 and below do not have it.

Problem

Is it possible to get a Path object from a `java.io.File`? I know you can convert a path to a file using `toFile()` method, but I couldn't find the opposite conversion. Is there a way to do this in Java 6 or lower?
