I took a quick look at RandomAccessFile, and it seems to use a lot of 
native methods.  I would guess that porting it to the NIO FileChannels 
was more work than Sun/Oracle wanted to get into.

That said, a drop-in replacement would be nice.  Factor out an interface 
RandomAccessIO, make RandomAccessFile extend that interface, and then 
add a new class RandomAccessChannel that extends RandomAccessIO and 
wraps a FileChannel.  That I think would be my suggestion, if I were 
going to make one.

As it is, you're probably OK by re-inventing the wheel here, I don't see 
any other way.  RandomAccessFile is not final, you could extend it if 
you absolutely needed a drop-in replacement, but that seems like a very 
difficult solution given the way it's implemented.  Rolling your own 
from scratch is probably better.
