We've seen a few fileupload/io issues come through. I think maybe I
should have stuck to my guns on not adding an [io] dependency to
[fileupload]... ;-)

We came to the same conclusion as Henri when it comes to dependencies with
Java Web Parts, that's why things like Commons Lang is included. We
actually took it a bit further and put those classes in our package
structure, but that was to avoid even having to have more JARs floating
around, i.e., you include javawebparts-core.jar all the time, then just
include the JARs you are interested in beyond that... the only external
depenendency we left was JCL, just to hopefully avoid any classloader
issues that might arise.
IO doesn't at all strike me as an unreasonable dependency, so don't fret
it too much :) I think simply making sure it is well-known is enough, and
that just means prominently on the web site (whether on the download page,
front page, or whatever, but it should be very hard to miss).

And I, on the other hand, am quite happy that, as about the only developer
who ever works on FileUpload, I got to do what I felt was right, rather than
having an opposing view imposed on me. ;-)
