Re: [PATCH][LANG] StringUtils.trimNull(String)

[Dave . Derry]

Hi,

I'm just a lurker here, but my preference would be to return an empty
string rather than null when the string consists of just whitespace. I find
it to be annoying to always have to check for null. In fact, I very rarely
initialize a String to null, but generally initialize to "".

Just my 2 cents,
Dave Derry

I added a new method to StringUtils. It trims a string, returning null if
the string only has whitespace.
