[jira] Commented: (IO-153) FileWriter that accepts an encoding

["Stephen Colebourne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-153?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12556430#action_12556430 ] 

Stephen Colebourne commented on IO-153:
---------------------------------------

* The non-encoding parameters exist as I copied it from LocakbleFileWriter. While it could be argued that having the constructors allows a single class to be used for all purposes, I think that removing the no-encoding constructors is probably sensible.
* The constructor uses file.getAbsolutePath() for JDK1.3 compatability.
* I'm not sure that anything is gained by subclassing ProxyWriter (in fact it is more complex) - what we really want is to subclass FileWriter, but I can't see a way to do that.
* I wanted this to be JDK1.3 compatible. I would hope that the next release will be Java 5 after all ;-)
