I've been refactoring some IO code in Jenkins lately that are similar to the FileUtils delete family of methods. I had originally wanted to replace them with calls to FileUtils, but I noticed that we had a more sophisticated strategy for retrying deletes and other workarounds for (usually) Windows-specific problems (e.g., you can't delete an open file in Windows; this can be commonly caused by things like virus scanners which cause ephemeral errors).
My Jenkins code is here [1], and I was wondering if I could work on contributing some of this logic back to commons-io in some way. There may also be some useful utilities to include regarding Windows-specific symbolic link/directory junction manipulation, too.
