An abstractions over plain java.io.File access that provides additional ClientAPI for listening to changes made by others and also ProviderAPI allowing different implementations unrelated to java.io.File. There is JAR file system, FTP file system, memory file system, or XML file system. The last one is heavily used by NetBeansLayers registration mechanism.
