From the Xpert.ivy help I succeeded in converting a ivy File Object to an Java File Object by using...

java.io.File tempFile = in.someIvyFileObjectInstance.getJavaFile();

But what about the inverse way: Java File -> Ivy File? I didn't found a solution for this.

The ivy file is always relative addressed (relative to the files folder of the application). See more details on the Designer Help about ivyScript File. So normally it makes no sense to generate an ivy file out of a java file if you do not want it to be saved/acessed relatively.

Possible solution to move a java file into a ivy file: 1. Create IvyFile, then move the java File to the new ivy file.

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

java.io.File javaFile = new java.io.File("/tmp/myFile.txt");
File ivyFile = new File("myFolder/" + javaFile.getName());
FileUtils.moveFile(javaFile, ivyFile.getJavaFile());

Hi Christian. Thanks for your answer. This was exactly, what I was looking for. I only changed moveFile to copyFile for my needs.
