--------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation of FileSystemOptions should be more helpful
                 Key: VFS-518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-518
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Roland Illig


The Javadoc of {{FileSystemOptions}} currently says:

{quote}
Container for FileSystemOptions.
You have to use *FileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance() to fill this container
{quote}

The first sentence contains no helpful information at all. It should explain 
that any file system can be configured and illustrate a typical usage using a 
small code example.

I _think_ the documentation should look like this:

{quote}
File systems can be configured individually using these options.

To configure a file system, you set certain properties in a 
{{FileSystemOptions}} object. Most filesystems provide a 
{{FileSystemConfigBuilder}} that knows the specific options of the file system.

To use the options, they have to be passed to the 
{{FileSystemManager.resolveFile()}} method. From there, the options apply to 
all files that are resolved relative to that file.
{quote}

These few sentences would have helped me a lot in understanding.
