I consider this to be a delicate balance between making projects

I'd be in favor of upgrading to Java 8. It would certainly make
porting my Jenkins deleteRecursive family of methods back upstream
easier (lambdas mainly). It would also allow for adding functional
APIs for IO (which may also require some checked versions of

bump.
Also I think all commons projects should be bumped to Java 8 asap, as
those on java 5, 6 or 7 are probably happy with the current versions
and would onl

Hello,
This is regarding the JIRA issue IO-597. I am not sure if this has to be
taken up because the fix for this bug would need Java 8 which would be
breaking all existing code(using Java 7 or earlier) which uses this library.
Thanks
