Sorry for the perhaps naive discussion: I don't know Kotlin (except for the name). But still, if "Java code can be called in Kotlin without issue", why is something to be done here in Commons? In particular, "Utils" classes are not something to be especially proud these days. I they deserve special handling, it would rather be in the form of refactoring them as non-"Utils". ;-) Regards, Gilles >> > [...] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
