--------------------------------------------------------------

I agree here with Elliotte, those projects (commons, plexus-utils, maven-shared-utils) share common roots, have code copy pasted from each to other... IMHO, maven-shared-utils [https://github.com/apache/maven-shared-utils] should simply die off, plexus-utils should deprecate all methods that are present in other commons project, and at one point just drop them. This last step was on-hold almost forever, as maven was injecting "currently used" plexus-utils into plugins, which is not the case anymore, since 3.9 all plugins MUST declare and use their own explicit plexus-utils version, so the danger of incompatibility is gone.
