/**
 * This class provides basic facilities for manipulating files and file paths.
 * <p/>
 * <h3>Path-related methods</h3>
 * <p/>
 * <p>Methods exist to retrieve the components of a typical file path. For example
 * <code>/www/hosted/mysite/index.html</code>, can be broken into:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>/www/hosted/mysite/index</code> -- retrievable through {@link #removeExtension}</li>
 * <li><code>html</code> -- retrievable through {@link #getExtension}</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p/>
 * <h3>File-related methods</h3>
 * <p/>
 * There are methods to  create a {@link #toFile File from a URL}, copy a
 * copy a {@link #copyFile File to another File},
 * copy a {@link #copyURLToFile URL's contents to a File},
 * as well as methods to {@link #deleteDirectory(File) delete} and {@link #cleanDirectory(File)
 * clean} a directory.
 * </p>
 * <p/>
 * Common {@link java.io.File} manipulation routines.
 * <p/>
 * Taken from the commons-utils repo.
 * Also code from Alexandria's FileUtils.
 * And from Avalon Excalibur's IO.
 * And from Ant.
