Description _ rkubacki 2005-10-10 10:47:58 UTC 
FileUtil.toFile (FileObject) is a utility method performing conversion from FO
to File and is used heavily in the IDE even during typing in editor - geting
platform classpath for Java parsing, UpdateTrackingFileOwnerQuery, checking for
write access, CVS annotations

These conversions boils down to File.isDirectory and thus access I/O devices.
This is a big problem for slow devices or notebook running in power saving mode.
