Summary: Deprecate public static boolean
contentEqualsIgnoreEOL(final File file1, final File file2, final String
charsetName)
Key: IO-847
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-847
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
Files can be compared byte per byte and we have a method to do that. I can't
see a reason to convert two files to the same character set and then compare
them. This gives the same answer in all cases where the character encoding is
recognized. If the character set isn't available, it might or mght not fail in
a new but unhelpful way.
Arguably there is a use case for comparing two files with two different
character sets, but that's not what this method does.
