Java 7 中引入的 Path 类添加了新的替代项,如下所示:
/**
 * <pre>
 * Checks if a string is a valid path.
 * Null safe.
 *  
 * Calling examples:
 *    isValidPath("c:/test");      //returns true
 *    isValidPath("c:/te:t");      //returns false
 *    isValidPath("c:/te?t");      //returns false
 *    isValidPath("c/te*t");       //returns false
 *    isValidPath("good.txt");     //returns true
 *    isValidPath("not|good.txt"); //returns false
 *    isValidPath("not:good.txt"); //returns false
 * </pre>
 */
public static boolean isValidPath(String path) {
    try {
        Paths.get(path);
    } catch (InvalidPathException | NullPointerException ex) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

注意Ferrybig的评论:“Linux上文件名中唯一不允许的字符是NUL字符,这在Linux下确实有效。
