Sebb created IO-463:
-----------------------
Summary: 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
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.
