Description

I'd like to add a new convenience "builder" class (FileFilterBuilder) to make it easier to create complex FileFilter using Commons IO's IOFileFilter implementations.

Heres an example of how it can be used to create a IOFileFilter for the following conditions:

• Either, directories which are not hidden and not named ".svn"
• or, files which have a suffix of ".java"

IOFileFilter filter = FileFilterBuilder.orBuilder()
.and().isDirectory().isHidden(false).not().name(".svn").end()
.and().isFile().suffix(".java").end()
.getFileFilter();
