DISCUSSION

This overloaded method defines a wrapper object that acts as the equivalent of a Mac OS 4-byte character constant (such as a creator, file type, or special folder name). When specifying a Mac OS creator, file type, or special folder name in the Java environment, you must refer to it using an MRJ OS type.
