Because we had to back out the changes for 6350200, the bug still exists. We need to create a new bug which replicates the appropriate information so that it may be addressed in a later release.

These are the relevant portions of the description of 6350200.

When opening a hidden file for write access the FileNotFoundException exception is thrown. If you remove the hidden attribute (via attrib) the exception is not thrown and application works correctly.

import java.io.*;
public class HiddenFileTest {
    // Main function, launches JFileChooser to select a directory
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        try {
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter( "C:\\temp\\file1.txt" );
            PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( fw );
            out.println( "This is a test 2" );
            out.close();
        } catch( IOException e ) {
            e.printStackTrace( System.out );
        }
    }
}

Steps to reproduce:
- Run the provided test. It will create a c:\temp\file1.txt file.
- Hide the file.
  > attrib +h c:\temp\file1.txt
- Run the test again.
  > java -cp . HiddenFileTest
  java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\temp\file1.txt (Access is denied)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at HiddenFileTest.main(HiddenFileTest.java:7)
- Grant access to the file.
  > attrib -h c:\temp\file1.txt
- Test will run successfully.
