> Where could you put a checkArgument? Can you give me an example? I think @nacx was going down the same path here, but luckily he knew what the actual way to have validation performed during the API call is ;-) I appreciate your point that that moves the error into a less useful position from a development perspective.
I wish I could point to an obvious precedent for injecting values into Builders in jclouds, but I can't think of one (a related discussion over at [jclouds-labs #33](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/33/files#r7512661) revolved around an injected Factory, but the use case was not exactly similar). In the interests of getting the majority of this PR in for 1.6.3 (assuming you consider the change workable without the checks for now), would you be OK with splitting them out into a separate PR? --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-openstack/pull/46#issuecomment-28451558
