Paul Benedict commented on LANG-673:
------------------------------------
Curiously, StringUtils has an abbreviate(), which is a different implementation
than this one. Do we need two versions?
> WordUtils.abbreviate() throws undocumented StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

> Key: LANG-673
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-673
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Paul Benedict
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> The javadoc does not indicate that the string must already be long enough to
> abbreviate; yet it really does or an Exception is thrown. For example, if you
> try to abbreviate a string of length 10 at 40 characters, this will fail. I
> believe this should be allowed... just without any abbreviation.
