> Howdy,
> org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils#moveFile(File, File) currently throws an
> IOException if the destination File already exists. IMHO this is the expected
> behavior in cases where the destination file has is at least one byte in
> size. But in some cases the user might want to create a file before calling
> this method to be sure it was created successfully and use another filename
> if not. Since a generic IOException is thrown in cases where the destination
> file does already exist a user not able to implement counter-measures for
> such cases. So i suggest to add another method for this case.
