[PATCH] - New FTP File Listing Mechanism

[Steve Cohen <st...@attbi.com>]

The attached patch implements an alternative file listing mechanism.  
While designed to replace and enhance the original mechanism, complete 
backward compatibility is preserved.

This patch was originally submitted in a slightly different form before the 
NetComponents project was moved to the Jakarta Sandbox in April 2002.  I am 
also attaching the original comments that were submitted with that 
submission.  They are all still valid.  The only differences between the 
earlier patch and this one are these
1) my email address is different
2) the package names were changed to conform with the new commons location 
3) licenses were changed to Apache
4) the File Parsers and their associated test classes were moved to a new 
subpackage:
	org.apache.commons.net.ftp.ftp2.parser
for greater clarity.
5) project.properties has been changed so that new Maven-based build (a 
really nice system, by the way, which I hadn't known about) knows where to 
find the test classes.

I would have liked to submit this patch in smaller pieces but it is really 
impossible to do so and still have a functioning package.  Breaking the 
parsers into a subpackage perhaps makes clearer that the changes are really 
not massive.
