Nio is ment to be used mostly in network?

[jurka]

As i heard there is new I/o library in java, so its use mostly meant to be for networking ?

Read the API doc and the Tutorial about the nio packages.
Not meant mostly for network. Most of what I've read is for disk.

I have always thought that NIO was aimed at networking. I'm not sure that it brings much to disk I/O, perhaps @norm can help with what he uses it for.

I have found NIO to be hard to use. And when it first came out, there were serious bugs in the Windows JVM that made it impossible to use.

If you want to use it for networking, I strongly suggest you look at
Apache MINA - Index
it wraps it all, and adds very nice capabilities.
