Does the java.nio.newDirectoryStream give you the expected file system order?
You can compare with python os.listdir:
stain@biggiebuntu:~/rc/incubator-taverna-common-activities$ python -c
"import os; print(os.listdir('.'))"
['taverna-spreadsheet-import-activity', 'release.properties',
'taverna-external-tool-activity', '.git', 'taverna-wsdl-generic',
'taverna-xpath-activity', 'pom.xml', 'taverna-beanshell-activity',
'NOTICE', 'pom.xml.releaseBackup', 'README.md',
'taverna-rest-activity', 'DISCLAIMER', 'taverna-interaction-activity',
'.travis.yml', '.gitignore', 'taverna-wsdl-activity', 'LICENSE',
'target']
Which at least in Linux should match the order of: ls -Ul
We've talked about updating IO to use Java 7, then
java.nio.newDirectoryStream can be used and provide the native
(possibly weird, but faster) order.
