I'm a little tied up with a newborn at the moment, and IO 1.1 is behind Lang 2.1 on my target list. Neither are being driven by itches, apart from a general itch to get the Finder code to more people and to get new releases with bugfixes out there. > (My personal itch for this is that FileUpload now has a dependency on > a recent nightly build of IO, and I'd like to do a 1.1 of FileUpload > reasonably soon, but I'm not in a big rush.

To answer Gary's suggestion of moving this into FilenameUtils; I'm not anti that suggestion. Obviously FilenameUtils would have to be closer to release first. > > There are a couple of options on the finder code which are not > > implemented yet (time ones I think). > > I guess it might be better to finish that up than release it not fully > baked. ;-) It's a clone as such of the unix command line tool, so a few of the flags that may be done in unix find are yet to be coded. Not that necessary for a release-early. Someone did post a different way to do the flags though; which needs to be looked at. I'm a huge fan of the find command in Unix, and wanted something to let me write similar style scripts in Java. It was partly written to be called from Groovy. > I just noticed a couple of items on the IO wiki page: > > http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/IO > > Can you (or someone else) elaborate on what it means to get > FilenameUtils and ClassLoaderObjectInputStream "release ready"? It's a > bit vague... ;-) Yep, tis vague. Remember that much of IO is accumulated code, which is then cleaned up and tests written for it. FilenameUtils had a lot of issues. We'll need to go back in the list history to see what they were. Methods need killing, writing, testing etc. ClassLoaderOIS needs unit tests written. The effort of figuring out how to unit test it was always greater than the itch to include it in an IO release :) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
