Thank you for your feedback! To be honest I was confused when I came along that 
class. My observations were:

- Only static methods, but instantiable
- It is really a parser but it was called factory (okay, „utils" isn’t better…)
- strange special handling of Strings „Little“ and „Big“ with no explanation

So I tried to change it in a way, that it makes more sense to me, but that 
doesn’t seem to make sense for everybody :-)

I have no problem with RERO, if this class need more polishing.

Regards,
Benedikt

>> +---------------------
>> +- WildcardFilter deprecated, replaced by WildcardFileFilter
>> +  - old class only accepted files, thus had a confusing dual purpose

>> +
>> +- FileCleaner
>> +  - This now handles the situation where an error occurs when deleting
>> the file
>> +
>> +- IOUtils.copy [IO-84]
