Jakarta Commons IO is a library of utility, file filter, endian and
stream classes that aim to make working with IO much more pleasant.

There are three main areas included:

* Utility classes – with static methods to perform common tasks
* Filters – various implementations of file filters
* Streams – useful stream, reader and writer implementations

These classes aim to add to the standard JDK IO classes.
The utilities provide convenience wrappers around the JDK, simplifying
various operations into pre-tested units of code.
The filters and streams provide useful implementations that perhaps should
be in the JDK itself.
