[Yanel-usage] Sychronizing two directories/volumes

Hi

This is not really related to Yanel itself, but I recently wrote a Java 
utility class to help synchronize two directories/volumes:

src/java/org/wyona/commons/io/Sync.java

or rather

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/commons/trunk/src/java/org/wyona/commons/io/Sync.java

I know there is "rsync" and "Ant Sync" and although these are great for 
various tasks, these don't really work
for my case of synchronzing two directories/volumes in both directions.

So, just wanted to let you know in case you might be looking for a 
cross-platform alternative sync tool in the future.

(btw, my usecase is to have movie footage on two external hard-drives 
and sometimes I work with one and sometimes with the other (depending on 
where I am) and hence the two hard-drives can get out of sync.

Cheers

Michi
