> TIKA-249 inlined select commons-io classes in order to simplify the
> dependency tree and save some space.
> I believe these arguments are weaker nowadays due to the following concerns:
> - Most of the non-core modules already use commons-io, and since tika-core is
> usually not used by itself, commons-io is already included with it
> - Since some modules use both tika-core and commons-io, it's not clear which
> code should be used
> - Having the inlined classes causes more maintenance and/or technology debt
> (which in turn causes more maintenance)
> - Newer commons-io code utilizes newer platform code, e.g. using Charset
> objects instead of encoding names, being able to use StringBuilder instead of
> StringBuffer, and so on.
> I'll be happy to provide a patch to replace usages of the inlined classes
> with commons-io classes if this is accepted.
