Integrate unix4j library about bach HOT 6 CLOSED

Bach sports some very basic file system utility helpers in Bach.Util that java.nio.files.Files does lack ... but sometimes you need to prepare your workspace before a build or do some aftermath as last step of the build. That's when you resort to OS-specific commands. Or you use a platform-agnostic library as unix4j.

@sormuras I'd be very interested to understand why you want to integrate Bach with unix4j and in what way they'd be integrated together. Would you mind going into more detail about this? :)

@sormuras Thank you very much for the clarification!

I admit that I don't fully understand yet how shell/command-line scripts or "unix4j" would be useful for tasks like preparing a workspace before a build or finalising things towards the end of a build. Could you give a concrete example or two?

Replacing strings in files with "sed", using "find" command instead of Files.walk with a predicate...

It's just an option.

Cool, I understand fully now, thanks! :)

An option that was never ever really needed (by me) - using classes and tools built into Java 11 are sufficient.
