Vasily Ivanov commented on COLLECTIONS-223:
-------------------------------------------
Henri,
I don't see any backwards compat issue with changing "void" return type to
"Collection" unless someone calls that static addAll() method via reflection
and relays on "java.lang.Void" to be a return type. I really doubt someone does
that kind of things.
> CollectionUtils.addAll() methods should return the input collection

> Key: COLLECTIONS-223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-223
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Collection
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Vasily Ivanov
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> Like MapUtils.putAll() method returns input map, CollectionUtils.addAll()
> methods should return the input collection.
> This will allow to init and populate collection at the same line:
> ArrayList inputs = (ArrayList) CollectionUtils.addAll(new ArrayList(), new
> String[] { "value1", "value2" });
