I'm sorry but I don't think this is a good enough reason for a -1 vote. If it is, then its placing another hurdle that AFAIK will affect all Commons component's releases - since its a limitation of all the maven builds. The vast majority of people don't build from source and the small minority that do can very easily find help in this forum to overcome this hurdle. It doesn't actually come up that often (with any of the components) so IMO its not a big issue and it also has no impact on the quality of the IO build. Also you could just go to the IO wiki page and add something there to document this yourself. Please lets not add to the barriers/bureaucracy of releasing unless we absolutely have to.

The Maven build will fail [1] if you do not have commons-build installed. The documentation makes no note of this dependency (or I could not find it.) IMO, this needs to be mentioned in the following places: http://people.apache.org/~scolebourne/commons-io/site/building.html http://people.apache.org/~scolebourne/commons-io/site/dependencies.html RELEASE-NOTES.txt This is going to be a problem other projects of course.
