Description

Lacking classpath based lookup methods such as:

- Collection<File> listFiles(String[] extensions)
- Collection<File> listFiles(String extension, String classpathRoot)

Created pull request 7.

 

Q1: does such classpath based lookup already exists elsewhere (that is on such a generic apache commons level, not buried in some other huge specialized project).  If not exists this is neede.

Q2: does it belong here, or on another Utils class/package?
