I don't know if this is really needed. StringUtils is supposed to be the library for string manipulation. Isn't StringUtils.removeStart(content, "\n") + StringUtils.chomp(content) enough? If we just need a couple of methods on top of StringUtils, then I'd rather not introduce a new component. Especially one that's as simple as this one. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
