Question

I am trying to implement my own File class, which extends from the java.io.File (please don’t judge me 🙂 and I am trying to be able to construct my class by giving the java.io.File instance as follows:

public class File extends java.io.File {

    public File (String fileName) {
        super(fileName);
    }



    public File (java.io.File file) {
        // the problem
        super = file;
    }
    ...
}

My problem is that I would like to construct my class with something like super = file which is obviously an incorrect expression. Can you suggest how this could be done?

Thanks.

How about

public File (java.io.File file) {
    super(file.getPath());
}
