maven-shared-utils is intended as a replacement of plexus-utils that maintains p-u semantics on the methods. As we all know all of this stuff is implemented elsewhere at least 20 times. The problem is of course that the semantics on a lot of methods are subtly different and that causes all sorts of things to blow up if we just do a mass-migration.
So m-s-u has a different package structure, but if the class is present in m-s-u it is plexus-compatible. The intention of m-s-u has not been to make "yet another" utils library; hence that's what we did;) m-s-u shades in some stuff from commons-io (2.2 which is 1.5 compat). Sounds like we have an issue on copyDirectory, I created https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-260 Kristian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
