commons-finder status?

Hello,

I am interested in using Commons Finder or something similar. Is  
someone using this code or is it rather stagnant?

Specifically, I am using the Oct-12 nightly build (combined with the  
commons-io 1.2 release) and I am having trouble executing my code  
because of NoClassDefFoundErrors.

It seems the FileFinder class refers to a few common-io classes  
(WildcardFileFilter, EmptyFileFinder, HiddenFileFilter, etc) which do  
not exist, do not exist in the 1.1 io release, and do not exist in  
the current SVN (according to the Javadocs)

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea where these extra classes went,  
and if there is an alternative to commons-finder that works well?

Specifically I need to recursively search through directories looking  
for files based on age.

Thanks,

-Josh

Yep, Finder depends on IO-snapshot at the moment (the current javadoc
on the site are out of date). Much of the meat of Finder has gone into
IO. Very interested in hearing if the IO functionality is enough for
you, or if you still think there is room for Finder.

Currently Finder is seeming to be heading to be more of a demo of
Commons technologies than a component that people would need.

This became the class DirectoryWalker in commons-io SVN (unreleased). 
DirectoryWalker is still being worked on, but the class is functional as-is.
