Please do. As I wrote on https://jlbp.dev/JLBP-1.html "If you can reasonably reimplement functionality instead of adding another dependency, do so. For example, if the only classes you’re using from Guava are Preconditions and Strings, it’s not worth adding a dependency on Guava. You can easily reimplement any method in those classes." The same applies to commons lang. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
