Getting somewhere. I had thought content was writable -- and the code
generation would make you think so. Alas, the model does say
read-only, so it would appear that the JavaFSAdaptor in its current
incarnation does not allow any setting of the content itself. Its all
read-only across the board. One can create files or directories, but
there is no way to save data to those files. Yikes.
