How to extend java.io.File class?

Question

Hi,
I have written the following code.
import java.io.*;
public class MyFile extends java.io.File {
MyFile()
} // end myFile class
I am getting the following errors while compiling. Could any one throw some light on this and tell me what could be the wrong in this?
C:\>javac MyFile.java
MyFile.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor File ()
location: class java.io.File
^
1 error
Appreciate your help in this regard. Please email me if you find the answer for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Murthy

Answer 1

there's no default File() constructor , so u should write like this:
import java.io.*;
public class MyFile extends File {
     MyFile(String name) {
          super(name);
} // end myFile class
