[jira] Commented: (IO-77) Add convenience moveFile() / moveDirectory methods to FileUtils

["Niall Pemberton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-77?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12557648#action_12557648 ] 

Niall Pemberton commented on IO-77:
-----------------------------------

Thanks Nicolas, can you open a new issue ticket for this please? Also this will have to go into the next Commons IO release because, although we have added new JKD 1.4 dependant implementations in Commons IO we are retaining compatibility with JDK 1.3 (thru' the compiler source/target options) for existing classes such as IOUtils.

Also your patch has *alot* of noise in it - as was the last one which took me a while to remove all the un-related/formatting changes. Small focused patches are much more likely to get applied since they take much less effort to review.

> I'm using FileUtils as it partially solves the missing "move" method for File,
> that is so simple to do in unix shell.
> A full implementation in FileUtils may be great :
> static boolean FileUtils.move(File src, File dest)
> throws IOException
> {
>     boolean rename = src.renameTo(dest);
>     if (!rename)
>     {
>         copyFile(file, dest);
>         file.delete();
>     }
> }
