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

Sebb, the reason I went with changing the filename stem  because of the side effect of changing the extension. It could be simplified to something like "filename stem.txt" -> "filename stem - *.txt" if that would be preferable. 

I also thought about having the user be able to define how they would like the change. Perhaps this is really the best overall solution and something I am willing to help with if that is where this method should head.  

I can change the name to nextOneUpFile as that is what was originally suggested unless there is a better naming convention for a util of this type. 

Also, is there a util that lets us know what the max file name length is for a file? If there is, it would be trivial to add the check in to make sure it isn't too long.

> Create a FileNameUtil or FileUtil facility that allows for creating a one-up extension on files that already exist.
> example:
> archive
> +-- file.txt
> +-- file.txt.1
> +-- file.txt.2
> {code}
> File file = FileNameUtils.nextOneUpFile("/archive/file.txt");
> System.out.println(file)
> // output: /archive/file.txt.3
> {code}
