Still TODO: 5) - WordUtils Capitalize with separator methods need to define null handling for delimiter list, and better javadoc for two of the three methods
And thats it, besides finding a volunteer to do the release (before a svn change?)

Hello All:
I just noticed it's been about a month since the last 2.1 ponderings. Where do we stand now?
Curious, Gary

Sorry for the silence from me. As I've probably said a million times, baby happened.
I'm full of coding energy, or perhaps the need to 'have coded' that leads to coding happening and looking to direct some of it to Lang 2.1.
Looking at the wiki and bugzilla, we were nearly there as far as I recall. Not a lot has cropped up in the 2 months or so that have passed, couple of bugs I've easily closed out and a couple of trickier ones.
Gary seems to have taken care of http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32625. Is it ready for closure Gary? Despite Matt Blum's comment on a work-around, it still sounds like a fine change to the library.
The only other new bug is a note on incorrect javadoc and should be an easy one: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32619.
Stephen listed the following as smelling:
------- 1) - ArrayUtils.lastIndex() Gets the last valid index of an array. Surely users would just call getLength() - 1?
2) - ClassUtils.CLASS_NAME_COMPARATOR - ClassUtils.PACKAGE_NAME_COMPARATOR Although potentially useful, they seem quite specific. What about comparing packages using Class objects? (I've never used a Package object in my work) Or comparing just the short name of a class?
3) - NotImplementedException This now implements Nestable, with a lot of extra methods. None of the other exception classes in the main package have been changed. We should revert this change, or find a lighter weight solution that works with ExceptionUtils.
4) - Validate.allElementsOfClass Should rename to allElementsOfType, and use instanceof style check, not class equals style check
Still TODO: 5) - WordUtils Capitalize with separator methods need to define null handling for delimiter list, and better javadoc for two of the three methods
6) - time.DurationFormatUtils (complete?) 7) - time.StopWatch (complete?) 8) - text subpackage (not in 2.1) ---------
I think we were all agreed on 8. 6+7 I'm open to ideas on improvements, I think they were complete but need to look again to convince myself.
3, 4 and 5 all look to be quite agreeable and so just need to be done.
1 and 2 look to be "justify thy existence" questions to the relevant features. So we need to decide whether we think they should go or not.
1 seems to be a classic "it's semantically better" argument, whereas 2 seems to be a "it's not generic enough". Usually we keep code with semantically better arguments and drop not-generic enough code I think, so 1 would stay and 2 would be rm'd. I'm not tied to either though, so ymmv.
I've clovered and uploaded to: http://www.apache.org/~bayard/commons-lang-2.1/clover/
Thoughts?
