That sounds like a good approach, and is one that I've taken before on other
classes. But I want to be clear about something. Are you thinking of private
builders that are invoked by static methods? This would mean the API wouldn't
change much. Or were you thinking of having the user instantiate a
FilenameUtils2 class, and call non-static methods from it?
My preference would be the first approach.
