title: Creating a child NIO.2 Path from a parent Path instance
body: <p>How do I create a <code>java.nio.file.Path</code> instance denoting a child path, if I already have an instance pointing to the parent directory on the same file system?</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I'm using</p>
  
  <pre><code>final Path parent = Paths.get("usr", "local");
  final Path child = Paths.get(parent.toString(), "bin");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>-- but this doesn't look very elegant.</p>
  
  <p>What I'm looking is some sort of a <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/File.html#File-java.io.File-java.lang.String-" rel="noreferrer"><code>java.io.File(File parent, String child)</code></a> constructor for <em>NIO.2</em>.</p>
