[jira] [Commented] (IO-513) Add convenience methods for reading class path resources

["Benedikt Ritter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-513?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15432214#comment-15432214 ] 

Benedikt Ritter commented on IO-513:
------------------------------------

I'm currently not convinced this should be added to IOUtils. The API currently is "give me something java.io related and I'll give you it's contents". Now we're dealing with paths denoting files in the classpath. The next thing is a convenience method of read files from anywhere. Further more this PR introduces the concept of CharSets to IOUtils - something IOUtils never had to deal with before.
