> Any views on NN for 'not null' ?
What's the problem with spelling this stuff out? -1 on using NN instead
of NotNull. Are we really concerned with saving space (a whole 4
characters) or reducing typing over making code more readable? Keep in
mind that more and more people are using IDEs that automatically display
the available methods on an object once you hit the ".", e.g.:
if ( StringUtils.
as soon as I type this, all of the methods are displayed...if I see:
isBlank
isBlankNN
isEmpty
isEmptyNN
then I will have to go to the JavaDoc to see what NN is.
if I instead see:
isBlank
isBlankNotNull
isEmpty
isEmptyNotNull
then not only do I know what isEmptyNotNull does, it also solidifies the
meaning of isEmpty.
