Hi, i have a question concerning the plexus-utils/maven-shared-utils. During the investigation of a bug in appassembler-plugin (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAPPASM-187). I have seen that in plexus-utils (3.0.7) the method FileUtils.copyDirectory() seemed to be not working. The same as in maven-shared-utils. After checking maven-shared-utils (0.1) i have detected that the unit tests which are checking the copyDirectory part a currently set to @Ignore.
I have found a solution in using commons-io package (2.4) but this would result in a JDK 1.5+ dependency (Does someone know a version of commons-io which works with JDK 1.4+? . The other question is why we don't use commons-io directly (apart of the optional dependency in maven-shared-utils) instead of rewriting things in maven-shared-utils or did i misunderstand the intention of maven-shared-utils? Are there any particular reasons not to to use commons-io package directly (as a dependency for a plugin)? Can someone enlighten me a little bit? Thanks in advance.
