I'm trying to understand org.apache.tools.ant.utils.FileUtils. There are no instance variables, and as far as I can see nothing extends it. Is there any good reason for needing instances rather than the methods being static? (Making the methods static wouldn't break 3rd party source code which created instances and used them; it might break binary compatibility though.)
I'm asking more to see if there's something I've missed than to suggest a change. I just found the instance in Project.java (which is going to take a *long* time to work through, but should help my Ant understanding rather a lot!) and wondered why it was needed...
