------------------------------
Summary: Add factory method as replacement for
PathUtils.NOFOLLOW_LINK_OPTION_ARRAY
Key: IO-758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-758
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 2.11.0
Reporter: Marcono1234
The public static field
{{org.apache.commons.io.file.PathUtils.NOFOLLOW_LINK_OPTION_ARRAY}} has as
value a non-empty array.
This is error-prone because by accident (or intentionally by malicious code)
the element of the array could be replaced, which could cause completely
unrelated parts of an application to malfunction.
See also SonarSource rule
[RSPEC-2386|https://rules.sonarsource.com/java/RSPEC-2386].
It would be good to instead add a static factory method which creates a new
array every time and to mark the {{NOFOLLOW_LINK_OPTION_ARRAY}} field as
deprecated (for removal?).
