"Apache Commons IO" upgrade

jAlbum includes Apache Commons IO 2.6, released in 2017.

The latest version is 2.16.1. Some features from 2.6 have been deprecated. Specifically, I am using the WildcardFileFilter.Builder class which was released in 2.12. I will back out of this change, to be compatible with 2.6.

Can jAlbum be upgraded to version 2.16.1?

The danger of waiting too long between releases is that a feature could be both deprecated and removed in the latest version.

I'll consider it. It's been my feeling that most of the stuff found in Apache commons io now have have decent equivalents in modern Java versions so I'd prefer to steer towards that in order that we can reduce the number of dependencies.

jAlbum's core doesn't seem to be using commons-io, but I notice that some of our skins (Tiger, Plain etc) do

FWIW, none of my skins uses Commons IO, so it's only some of the bundled skins that might need to be tested.

Another option is to remove Commons IO from jAlbum, and require each skin to include it if needed. I do include it in my skin because it wasn't included in old versions of jAlbum, and I didn't realize that it had subsequently been added. I was alerted to the problem when my skin compiled but failed to execute.
