Henri Yandell commented on LANG-338:
------------------------------------
This was flagged to go in Lang very early on, though I can't find the
discussion against adding it yet. Everything seems to be +1 when I dig in the
archives.
PurpleTech Utils had a similar version with the name 'abbreviate'. I think
that's a nicer name.
Excalibur also has a truncateNicely - making me wonder if the patch to String
Taglib had an Avalon history (or vice versa); however the implementations don't
look at all similar.
It should also go into WordUtils rather than StringUtils.
> truncateNicely method which avoids truncating in the middle of a word

> The taglib javadoc says:
> "...It will search for the first space after the lower limit and truncate the
> string there. It will also append any string passed as a parameter to the end
> of the string. The hard limit can be specified to forcibily truncate a string
> (in the case of an extremely long word or such)..."
