I appreciate the recent phase out of old java.io.File usage via #301. However, in my eyes the recommended replacement is not good. Paths.get() works fine, but it has a note in its Javadoc which recommends the usage of Path.of() instead, and that's what modernizer should suggest, too: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/share/classes/java/nio/file/Paths.java#L36-L38

However, that method is only available from Java 11, therefore there is the tiny window of people updating from 7 to 8 only (instead of from 7 to 11+), which would need Paths.get(). Not sure if that tiny fraction can be ignored, or whether the error message should point to both replacements (one for Java 8, one for Java 11+).
