> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.9.0

>
> # With the newly added PathUtils, the behavior of FileUtils.deleteDirectory
> has changed. Now nio is used instead of the old File.delete. The problem is,
> nio does not delete files with read only attribute and failes instead.
> # The interface of FileUtils was not extended to provide the possibility to
> use a DeleteOption, so I guess, if someone wants to remove "all" files, then
> PathUtils should be used. But here comes the next problem,
> FileUtils.deleteDirectory checks for the existence (in opposite to its
> javadoc), where PathUtils.deleteDirectory does not. Thats very inconsistent.
