## Class VFSManager

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFSManager

-     public class VFSManager
      extends java.lang.Object

  jEdit's virtual filesystem allows it to transparently edit files stored elsewhere than the local filesystem, for example on an FTP site. See the `VFS` class for implementation details.

  Note that most of the jEdit API is not thread-safe, so special care must be taken when making jEdit API calls. Also, it is not safe to call `SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait()` from a work request; it can cause a deadlock if the given runnable then later calls `waitForRequests()`.

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `static void` | `error(java.awt.Component comp, java.lang.String path, java.lang.String messageProp, java.lang.Object[] args)` Reports an I/O error with default urgency, `Log.ERROR`
    `static void` | `error(java.awt.Component comp, java.lang.String path, java.lang.String messageProp, java.lang.Object[] args, int urgency)` Reports an I/O error.
    `static void` | `error(java.io.IOException e, java.lang.String path, java.awt.Component comp)` Handle an I/O error.
    `static boolean` | `errorOccurred()` Returns if the last request caused an error.
    `static VFS` | `getFileVFS()` Returns the local filesystem VFS.
    `static int` | `getRequestCount()` Returns the number of pending I/O requests.
    `static VFS` | `getUrlVFS()` Returns the URL VFS.
    `static VFS` | `getVFSForPath(java.lang.String path)` Returns the VFS for the specified path.
    `static VFS` | `getVFSForProtocol(java.lang.String protocol)` Returns the VFS for the specified protocol.
    `static java.lang.String[]` | `getVFSs()` Returns a list of all registered filesystems.
    `static void` | `init()` Do not call.
    `static void` | `runInAWTThread(java.lang.Runnable run)` Deprecated. Using that method, when you run a task in AWT Thread, it will wait for all background task causing some unwanted delays.

    `static void` | `runInWorkThread(Task run)` Deprecated. You should not use this method, this threadpool links the AWT Threads and Work threads.
    `static void` | `sendVFSUpdate(VFS vfs, java.lang.String path, boolean parent)` Sends a VFS update message.
    `static void` | `start()` Do not call.
