From Liam at Google:


I've been using JavacPathFileManager and an in-memory filesystem (github.com/google/jimfs) for testing some code that uses the compiler API.

I noticed that JDK-8076420 deleted JavacPathFileManager and moved the Path-based methods into the regular JavacFileManager. I think that's great, but I'm having trouble using the Path-based API in JavacFileManager. The implementation uses Path#toFile(), which only works with the default filesystem.

Is this a known issue? JDK-8059976 looks like it would probably fix it.
