    Description

      The method FilenameUtils.indexOfExtension contains this JavaDoc comment:

      * @param filename the filename to find the last path separator in, null returns -1
      * @return the index of the last separator character, or -1 if there
      * is no such character

      This comment was obviously copied from the FilenameUtils.indexOfLastSeparator method, where it makes perfect sense.

      The JavaDoc comment for FilenameUtils.indexOfExtension should rather read e.g. as follows:

      * @param filename the filename to find the last extension separator in, null returns -1
      * @return the index of the last extension separator character, or -1 if there
      * is no such character
