Hmm, in the case of Reader/Writer ByteStreams seams to be a bit confusing for me, should then the reader copy stuff go to also a separate class like „CharStreams“. Locally I created an implementation named „IOUtils“ containing a copy method for InputStream to OutputStream. > You should keep things simple for an initial iteration and just add one > static method :-) which is essentially a refined copy of the private method > that Pavel pointed out.

For now a single copy(from, to) for Input-/OutputStream and Readable/Appendable would be perfect for now. > Hth, > Paul. > > [1] You can download jtreg from here: > > https://adopt-openjdk.ci.cloudbees.com/view/OpenJDK/job/jtreg/ > > for executing JDK tests.
