Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on IO-65:
-----------------------------------------
Probably time to close this. Some of this has been done. Some of this shouldn't
be done. Some of this exists in the JDK these days. What remains would need a
much more detailed proposal for individual functionality better managed as a
separate issue if anyone cares to file one.
> [io] move Location and Locator to commons io
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-65
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-65
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Ralf Hauser
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> The excellent platform-independence provided by the trio
> - org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Locator
> - org.apache.tools.ant.Location.Location(String fileName)
> - org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils
> is certainly useful for more than just ant.
> RFE: move to commons io.
> Thx to Matt who pointed out in Bug 35776 that there is already a
> org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils, so for that one, I guess the suggestion is
> rather "merge" the two since the ant-one is way more powerful, especially with
> its "normalize(final String path)" method, etc.
