Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error LUCENE

Question

Hello I am working on Lucene to index my database records but I am unable to solve this error.

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: Directory cannot be resolved to a type The method open(Path) in the type FSDirectory is not applicable for the arguments (File)

The error clearly says that Lucenetest can't be compiled. The reason is FSDirectory expects java.nio.file.Path but receives incompatible java.io.File.
Looks like the code was developed for previous version of Lucene which accepted File https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_0_3/api/core/org/apache/lucene/store/FSDirectory.html. The recent Lucene versions expect Path https://lucene.apache.org/core/5_3_0/core/index.html?org/apache/lucene/store/FSDirectory.html.
The solution is to change line with error to

 Directory indexDir = FSDirectory.open(new File(PATH).toPath());
