Files.newBufferedWriter() takes a Path object, but incorrectly passed a File object

[authentictech]

In Tutorials > The Java I/O API > File Operations Basics > Releasing Resources and Catching Exceptions, "Catching Exceptions" section, the sample code creates a File object and passes it into Files.newBufferedWriter().

However, according to the Java Docs, this method takes a java.nio.file.Path object, not a java.io.File object.

Charset charset = Charset.forName("US-ASCII");
File file = ...;
String s = ...;
try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(file, charset)) {
    writer.write(s, 0, s.length());
} catch (IOException x) {
    System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
}

Same is true for the second sample code:

Charset charset = Charset.forName("US-ASCII");
File file = ...;
String s = ...;
BufferedWriter writer = null;
try {
    writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(file, charset);
    writer.write(s, 0, s.length());
} catch (IOException x) {
    System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
} finally {
    try{
        if (writer != null)
            writer.close();
    } catch (IOException x) {
        System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
    }
}

Same issue on Tutorials > The Java I/O API > File Operations Basics > Reading and Writing Text Files, section Writing a Text File by Using Buffered Stream I/O

Charset charset = Charset.forName("US-ASCII");
File file = ...;
String s = ...;
try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(file, charset)) {
    writer.write(s, 0, s.length());
} catch (IOException x) {
    System.err.format("IOException: %s%n", x);
}
