The methods I want to add only supplement the existing interface. I will submit a patch and you can take a look at it but they are essentially two things I was trying to achieve: - add a listing framework to the class, this is to support servlet container requirements - implement meta methods for Files, eg: getLastModified. When I've done the formatting changes I'll submit another patch. It's fine if you don't approve it because I can deliver it with Paperclips.
