Seeking opinions

  1. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22692 22692] [StringUtils].split ignores empty items - new splitPreserveAllTokens Needs to be reviewed.

  2. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22717 22717] [lang] MutableNumbers - see lang.mutable.

  3. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30334 30334] [lang] New class proposal: CharacterEncoding

  4. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29163 29163] Make [StopWatch] validate state transitions - Coding needed

  5. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26056 26056] [lang] Add methods to [ArrayUtils]: add at end and insert-like ops - DONE - add(Object[], Object) is overloaded for all the primitives, but add(Object[], int, Object) and addAll(Object[], Object[]) are not overloaded for primitives. Should they be?

  6. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24910 24910] new [StringUtils].split methods that split on the whole separator string - committed as splitByWholeSeparator

  7. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15082 15082] [lang] elapsed time formatting utility method - DurationFormatUtils.

  8. DateUtils.isSameDay()
  9. DurationUtils ISO_EXTENDED_FORMAT uses FastDateFormat. This has problems with padding of years. See commented TODO in DurationFormatUtils. - No longer uses FastDateFormat. Instead it uses the DurationFormatUtils format code, of which a new variant has been added

Pushed back

  1. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21663 21663] [lang] Add support in [ToStringStyle] for [DateFormat]. - Grows quickly into commons-convert

  2. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27643 27643] [lang][patch] [ClassUtils].newInstance method - Seems unnecessary

  3. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29149 29149] [lang] [StringEscapeUtils].unescapeHtml() doesn't handle an empty entity - Empty entity is in fact illegal HTML, so need to decide if we should ignore. Current behaviour seems acceptable as we're not in the work with bad HTML market.

  4. StringBuffer replacement - Probably 2.2/3.0. A lot of work in this I'd imagine.

  5. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26659 26659] [lang] add method to [DateUtils] to get the distance between 2 dates - Mainly replicated by [DurationFormatUtils], or non-obvious

  6. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29692 29692] [lang] String indentation feature request - Needs design as a non-simple problem

  9. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26922 26922] [lang] public static boolean [DateUtils].equals(Date dt1, Date dt2)

  10. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21333 21333] Add [TimeoutController] - Class in [HttpClient]. Leaving til 3.0 as not much movement on it

  11. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30674 30674] Support [HttpClient]'s [DateParser] class - This is basically a Date parseDate(String dateValue, String[] dateFormats) method.

  12. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15082 15082] [lang] elapsed time formatting utility method - DurationFormatUtils. Needs finishing.

  13. New text package with Interpolation class moved there and MappedMessageFormat from code in Digester.

  14. [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18962 18962] [lang] New Method: getSubstitutedValues( String, Map ) - org.apache.commons.lang.text.Interpolation available for opinions
