Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.apache.commons.io.CopyUtils Use IOUtils. Will be removed in 2.0. Methods renamed to IOUtils.write() or IOUtils.copy(). Null handling behavior changed in IOUtils (null data does not throw NullPointerException).
org.apache.commons.io.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

Exceptions and Description
org.apache.commons.io.IOExceptionWithCause (since 2.5) use IOException instead

Deprecated Fields
