Gary D. Gregory commented on IO-463:
------------------------------------
Version 2.16.1 reimplements the class using NIO.
> FileSystemUtils#freeSpace can be simplified by using new Java 6 File methods
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-463
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-463
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.16.1
>
>
> Commons IO now requires Java 1.6, which has some useful new File methods:
> File.getFreeSpace() / getUsableSpace()
> These could be used to radically simplify (and speed up) the FileSystemUtils
> freeSpace methods, as well as making it OS-independent.
> The methods should be deprecated in favour of directly calling the File
> methods directly. Perhaps even deprecate the entire class? - it only
> contains the freeSpace methods currently.
> Note: a lot of the tests will becorme redundant or need reworking.
