ofs.fs ****** The packages is a small wrapper around the filesystem used as a backend for JOPE OFS. We can't use java.io.File, because we want to have it pluggable, eg an important filemanager is one which mounts a .zip/.jar filesystem as a folder. Another feature is that the OFSFileManager can associate caches with filesystem nodes to improve performance. For example a JavaScript file might be parsed just once, and then only when its timestamp changes. A .zip based FileManager can cache ALL its contents until the zip file itself changes, which makes it very efficient for the deployment of products.
