How to Convert That Java 1.7 Code to Java 1.6?

Question

I am converting an existing Java 1.7 project into 1.6. I have changed diamond operations and try with resources. However 1.7 has some File operations capability that 1.6 does not have. How can I change that lines of code into 1.6:

OutputStream fileStream = Files.newOutputStream(path); //there is no Files class
java.nio.file.Files.createDirectories(outputRoot.toPath()); //there is not toPath() method

also Path class

Use Apache Commons IO or Guava. Or use java.io classes directly. — Sotirios Delimanolis

Well, have you tried looking at the implementations of either of these methods? Also, the first line can probably be replaced with new FileOutputStream(path) and the second line can be replaced with outputRoot.mkdirs() — Josh M

@AndreyChaschev I have a library written for Java 1.7 and my servers have 1.6. I do not change the server's Java version and I have to use that library. — kamaci

You can replace the first line with:

OutputStream fileStream = new FileOutputStream(path);

And you could replace the second line with:

outputRoot.mkdirs();
