Amir Gur commented on IO-473:
-----------------------------

[~ggregory] - thanks.

Updated the ticket to:
 * Reflect it is focused lacck of classpath based lookups rather than just the end result convenient methods.
 * Listed opened issues Qs on description.

Similar PR w/ tests isn't hard to make, just may take time to get there.  Or anyone can chime in to contribute one.

> Lacking classpath based lookup methods such as:
> {code:java}
> - Collection<File> listFiles(String[] extensions)
> - Collection<File> listFiles(String extension, String classpathRoot)
> {code}
> Created [pull request 7|https://github.com/apache/commons-io/pull/7].

> Q1: does such classpath based lookup already exists elsewhere (that is on such a generic apache commons level, not buried in some other huge specialized project).  If not exists this is neede.
> Q2: does it belong here, or on another Utils class/package?
