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.

Now selenium supports following code:

FileHandler.copy(src, dest);

<!-- 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>

1. Download the 'org.apache.commons.io.jar' file on navigating to [org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils] [ http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/o/Downloadorgapachecommonsiojar.htm ]

2. Extract the downloaded zip file to a specified folder.

3. Update the project properties by using below navigation Right click on project>Select Properties>Select Java Build Path> Click Libraries tab>Click Add External Class Folder button>Select the folder where zip file is extracted for org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.zip 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.

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