- Deprecated Classes
  Class and Description
  org.apache.commons.io.CopyUtils Use IOUtils. Will be removed in 2.0. Methods renamed to IOUtils.write() or IOUtils.copy(). Null handling behaviour changed in IOUtils (null data does not throw NullPointerException).
  org.apache.commons.io.FileCleaner Use `FileCleaningTracker`
  org.apache.commons.io.FileSystemUtils As of 2.6 deprecated without replacement. Use equivalent methods in `FileStore` instead, e.g. `Files.getFileStore(Paths.get("/home")).getUsableSpace()` or iterate over `FileSystems.getDefault().getFileStores()`
  org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFilter Use WildcardFileFilter. Deprecated as this class performs directory filtering which it shouldn't do, but that can't be removed due to compatibility.

- Deprecated Exceptions
