Since I didn't see this email show up here for a while, I asked again on an internal alias. Here's what I take the consensus to be from that thread:
The utility code question: FileUtils.copy(File fin, File fout) in common/common-utils module.
How should I create my source file object? Using the File constructors.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
Cheers,
Bobby

Or maybe we even have a utility method for this somewhere that takes a file and string array?

I could try to use it *only* during the upgrade and not at runtime (-Djava.security.policy), or simply turn off the security manager during the upgrade and leave it alone, but I see doing that results in a 3.1 installation with an old policy, and then the server won't start.
