Aaron Digulla commented on IO-237: ---------------------------------- I suggest to close this. With Java 5, you can use the generic {{Arrays.asList()}} for this. If you need to modify the list, you need to wrap the call in {{new ArrayList()}}. Due to internal optimizations, this is a pretty fast operation. > Add Additional toFiles() and toURLs() Methods to FileUtils > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-237 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Java 1.5+ > Reporter: Michael Wooten > Fix For: 3.x > > Attachments: path-convert-fileArray-andURLArray-into-varargs.patch > > Original Estimate: 10h > Remaining Estimate: 10h > > I suggest modifying the signatures of the toFiles() and toURLs() to use > varargs since that approach will automatically accept arrays and also allow > the user to send an arbitrary number of them. > Convert File[] toFiles(URL[]) to File[] toFiles(URL...) > Convert URL[] toURLs(File[]) to URL[] toURLs(File...) > I also suggest adding new methods for converting a collection of URLs or > Files to an array, or to a List. > File[] toFiles(Collection<URL>) > List<File> toFilesList(URL...) > List<File> toFilesList(Collection<URL>) > URL[] toURLs(Collection<File>) > List<URL> toURLsList(File...) > List<URL> toURLsList(Collection<File>) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
