Henri Yandell commented on IO-77:
---------------------------------

This proposed method wouldn't change if NIO was used, that would be a change in the underlying copyFile.

What would switching to NIO gain us here? I presume speed is why you suggested it? Any idea what the improvements are?

Good stuff for when the target JDK version goes up.

> 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();
>     }
> }
