18. java.io.File.exists() timeout?    forums.oracle.com

your problem is not related to the File class. The File class relies heavily on the local filesystem without knowing that there is some sort of network behind it, so if the local filesystem takes a long time to respond, so will the File class. The threading option is a good workaround for your problem. At least it keeps your application ...

23. File.exists() vs. File.getAbsoluteFile().exists()    forums.oracle.com

Thanks for your reply. I have looked through the API, and I understand the difference between relative and absolute path if that's the difference you mean.
