Using FileUtils in eclipse

Question

When trying to use FileUtils I get "cannot be resolved" error.

Then, how do I install FileUtils library to be able to use it in Eclipse? I see it is an Ant utility, but I am not sure how many jars I need to install.

Answer 1

Open the project's properties---> Java Build Path ---> Libraries tab ---> Add External Jars

will allow you to add jars.

You need to download commonsIO from here.

Answer 2

Now selenium supports following code:

FileHandler.copy(src, dest);

Answer 3

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.directory.studio/org.apache.commons.io -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.directory.studio</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.commons.io</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
</dependency>

Add above dependency in pom.xml file

FileUtils is class from apache org.apache.commons.io package, you need to download org.apache.commons.io.jar and then configure that jar file in your class path.
