[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-86?page=comments#action_12447992 ] Niall Pemberton commented on IO-86: -----------------------------------
I'm happy with what you propose. As a side note, although my first planned real use for this is in a non multi-threaded task (a scheduled job for spidering some files) I had a play with it and JDK 1.6 and it worked v.nicely - theres a new Desktop class with which you can open/edit files using the native application associated with the file type e.g. pdf files open in Acrobat Reader http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html The combination of FileFilters, DirectoryWalker and Desktop look like a good combination - I haven't used Lucene, but add in text search and that would be a powerful cross platform app - maybe candidate for a lab? > Add DirectoryWalker based on FileFinder > --------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-86 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-86 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Reporter: Niall Pemberton > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: FileFinder.java, FileFinderTestCase.java, > io-DirectoryWalker-cancellation-3.patch, io-filefinder-start-end.patch, > io.patch > > > I'd like to propose adding a "FileFinder" back into Commons IO. This is a > simplified version of what was recently moved out of Commons IO into the > "finder" component currently in the sandbox. > I believe this is a simpler, more generic implementation than the finder > component and therefore would be considered suitable for inclusion in Commons > IO. Although simpler it could be used as the basis for achieving the finder > component's aims - namely to emulate the unix find command. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
