---------------------------------------
Hi Benedikt,
The JavaDoc for {{IOUtils}} says:
> General IO stream manipulation utilities.
And these new methods fall in the same category.
> The next thing is a convenience method of read files from anywhere.
{{IOUtils}} actually does that already:
{code}
public static byte[] toByteArray(final URI uri) throws IOException {
}
public static byte[] toByteArray(final URL url) throws IOException {
}
public static byte[] toByteArray(final URLConnection urlConn) throws
IOException {
}
{code}
So again, I still think {{IOUtils}} is the right place for these methods.
> Further more this PR introduces the concept of CharSets to IOUtils -
> something IOUtils never had to deal with before.
That is wrong. Lots of methods in IOUtils already take a `Charset` as an
argument. Here's an example:
{code}
public static String toString(final URI uri, final Charset encoding) throws
IOException {
}
{code}
So, again, logically I don't see anything preventing these methods to be added
to {{IOUtils}}.
