Log:
clean up: removed unused code (for reverting changes we have CVS, so
please remove old stuff always), JavaDoc added, comments fixed;
changed isNullAllListElements() => isAnyListElementNotNull(): the
duplicate negation at usage time breaks my brain ;-)
This depends of the POV you see it:
isNullAllListElements() -> This is not a negation. It check if :
All elements on the List are null. Where is the negation?
isAnyListElementNotNull() -> Here is a negation "Not null" :-D
Generally speaking, negative forms should be avoided, as their interpretation may be difficult depending on people's linguistic background. I used to work with Japanese people long time ago, and I'm sure this name, even with a single negation, would be very hard for them to understand.
So what about "hasNonNullElements()"?
