[jira] [Commented] (MSHARED-989) Undeprecate DirectoryScanner and MatchPattern(s)

["Michael Osipov (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-989?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17338538#comment-17338538 ] 

Michael Osipov commented on MSHARED-989:
----------------------------------------

I think {{DirectoryScanner}} should be a thin wrapper around NIO2 providing everything NIO2 does not provide out of the box.

> In MSHARED-898 {{DirectoryScanner}} has been deprecated. Instead using the {{java.nio.file.DirectoryStream}} is now recommended.
> The latter is often no replacement as the parametrization of DirectoryScanner with Ant-style globs for includes/excludes is not supported. Also the {{DEFAULTEXCLUDES}} are not part of Java NIO {{DirectoryStream}} either.
> The same applies to {{MatchPatterns}}, which is deprecated and now recommends using {{java.nio.filejava.nio.file.DirectoryStream.Filter<T>}}. Please instead provide a Filter for Java NIO for those patterns (regex and ant) and make {{DirectoryScanner}} use File NIO internally while keeping API compatibility.
> Otherwise every consumer of DirectoryScanner needs to come up with a custom implementation of pattern matching and a lot of glue code.
