Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on TEXT-93:
----------------------------------------

>Well, Yes nowadays programmers prefer List over arrays

That can lead to a whole new conversation, and you will probably find people 
supporting List over arrays, and others supporting arrays over Lists :-) I, 
myself, have no preference, normally the libraries/framework kind of dictate 
what I am using...

> and it's convineant too, but I'm not biased towards either decision to have 
> that method or not as far as we have another method to perform task for us

I'm +0 to having the other method. i.e. fine if the method is added, but fine 
too if others prefer not to add it. We can add it later too if that's the case. 
However, looking at classes at o.a.c.text, most I believe operate on 
Character[], char...,char[], etc.

> RandomStringGenerator accepts a list of valid characters

>  implement a "selectFrom" feature:
>   RandomStringGenerator gen = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder()
>     .selectFrom(charArray)
>     .build();
> so we can pass a list of valid characters
