Commons Lang originally only hosted extensions to the java.lang package. Over time more and more stuff creeped in (reflect, concurrent, text). We responded to that by creating Commons Text and Commons Functor. I think small focused components are the right direction instead of putting even more stuff into Commons Lang. I hope to have some time to work on Text and Functor after I'm done with the Commons Lang 3.5 release... :) Regards, Benedikt > > Cheers, > Jörg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > >
