java.nio.Files, java.nio.Paths on java 6

Question

I need to rewrite some java 7 file IO code that should run on a Java 6 VM too.

The implementation uses handy Java 7 features like autoclosing, Paths and Files.

To be more specific, I need to handle expressions like /tmp/foo/*.bar to return all .bar files (currently implemented with Files.newDirectoryStream(dir, glob)).

Does anyone know a handy library for this?

The Apache Commons IO API is also a good choice. I used it for a similar work (rewrite some code from java7 to java6 that used Path object) and they work very well.

The Apache Ant API would be a good candidate for this, in particular their FileSet class might do the job.

guava runs on java6 and it has a nice I/O api.
