public abstract class AbstractFileFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements IOFileFilter, PathVisitor

Abstracts the implementation of the FileFilter (IO), FilenameFilter (IO), PathFilter (NIO) interfaces via our own IOFileFilter interface.

Note that a subclass MUST override one of the accept methods, otherwise that subclass will infinitely loop.
