Henri Yandell commented on LANG-359:
------------------------------------
It's the usual argument.
A: Here's a class
B: It doesn't belong in Lang
A: It's too small to be its own component
B: Go put it in X
A: It doesn't fit in X (for example, XML Commons does not have somewhere for
this, and is a project being removed).
B: Not in Lang.
Too right that Lang shouldn't be a catch all for everything else, but we also
need to let th conversation continue on what ideas people have.
Not in Lang has positives - it can be JDK 1.6+ etc :) So, what methods were you
thinking of Ahmed?

> Please add an XMLUtils class that deals with most common functions required
> in working with XML. Working directly with the w3 DOM is a PITA, and almost
> every project that needs XML, implements it's own utility classes, hence much
> repeating and code duplication.
> IMHO this (commons-lang) is the best place for such an utility cause it would
> be similar to StringUtils (used so much that everybody wishes it were part of
> the JDK :) )
> Thanks in advance,
> Ahmed.
