Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-864:
--------------------------------------

Hi Roger,
on the commons-vfs jar dependencies, I see that the snapshot version of the release we still are using has never been releases (since a lot of time now); of course a dependency on a snapshot jar is not the best but I'm not against it is it's the only solution. Note that in this case we could have problems if using dependencies via Maven/Gradle.

Roger, what do you think on trying to ping commons-vfs people to see if there is some update ?

> Our application requires the ability to be able to browse (for instance) a Linux machine from the Windows desktop.  For this I would like to add (somehow) a pluggable file system architecture so that I could (for instance) implement an FTP protocol underneath the FileBrowser so that I can browse through directories and files on something other than the local machine.  We would also need to be able to type in a host name or TCP/IP address to start browsing the remote machine.
