Michael Osipov commented on MSHARED-989:
----------------------------------------
I think {{DirectoryScanner}} should be a thin wrapper around NIO2 providing
everything NIO2 does not provide out of the box.
> Undeprecate DirectoryScanner and MatchPattern(s)

> Key: MSHARED-989
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-989
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-shared-utils
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> In MSHARED-898 {{DirectoryScanner}} has been deprecated. Instead using the
> {{java.nio.file.DirectoryStream}} is now recommended.
> The latter is often no replacement as the parametrization of DirectoryScanner
> with Ant-style globs for includes/excludes is not supported. Also the
> {{DEFAULTEXCLUDES}} are not part of Java NIO {{DirectoryStream}} either.
> The same applies to {{MatchPatterns}}, which is deprecated and now recommends
> using {{java.nio.filejava.nio.file.DirectoryStream.Filter<T>}}. Please
> instead provide a Filter for Java NIO for those patterns (regex and ant) and
> make {{DirectoryScanner}} use File NIO internally while keeping API
> compatibility.
> Otherwise every consumer of DirectoryScanner needs to come up with a custom
> implementation of pattern matching and a lot of glue code.
