title: Java 7 new IO API - Paths.exists
body: <p>Does anyone know what happened to the <code>path.exists()</code> API method in the latest Java 7 API? 
  I cannot find the change in the change logs, and between b123 and b130, the method has been removed from the API.I see that there is a static <code>Files.exists</code> method but I'm not sure if that is the replacement or not. </p>
  
  <p>Is anyone following the Java 7 work close enough to know how this should be handled?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help. </p>
