Convert a FileObject into a File

I'm using Apache Commons VFS2 (Virtual File System) to monitor change file in directory. org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileListener return org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject. How Convert a org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileObject into a java.io.File

Solution 
  • fileobject.getURL().getFile()

    should work. The caveat is that we need to convert it first to a Java URL object, which can then be used to resolve the file.
