Deprecated List (Apache Commons IO 2.11.0 API)

Deprecated Classes
Class and Description
org.apache.commons.io.CopyUtils Use IOUtils. Will be removed in 3.0. Methods renamed to IOUtils.write() or IOUtils.copy(). Null handling behavior changed in IOUtils (null data does not throw NullPointerException).
org.apache.commons.io.DirectoryWalker Apache Commons IO no longer uses this class. Instead, use `PathUtils.walk(java.nio.file.Path, org.apache.commons.io.file.PathFilter, int, boolean, java.nio.file.FileVisitOption...)` or `Files.walkFileTree(java.nio.file.Path, java.util.Set, int, java.nio.file.FileVisitor)`, and friends.
org.apache.commons.io.FileCleaner Use `FileCleaningTracker`
org.apache.commons.io.FileSystemUtils As of 2.6 deprecated without replacement. Use equivalent methods in `FileStore` instead, e.g. `Files.getFileStore(Paths.get("/home")).getUsableSpace()` or iterate over `FileSystems.getDefault().getFileStores()`
org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFilter Use WildcardFileFilter. Deprecated as this class performs directory filtering which it shouldn't do, but that can't be removed due to compatibility.

Deprecated Exceptions
