Quoting @elharo: "A file that does not exist is not an illegal or inappropriate argument. " That is, in my opinion, a matter of policy, hence questionable. My personal opinion is this: It is the callers responsibility to ensure, that a file exists, before invoking an operation like copyFile, or moveFile. How that is ensured, is up to the caller. However, if you adopt that opinion, then it is clearly an illegal argument. Whatever, I do not wish to continue this discussion. In the end, it is pointless. The current code works, as documented. (@throws IAE.) Even if we agreed on your policies, I'd still hold to the statement "Works as documented (perhaps not exactly as expected by you), so no need to fix anything." -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
