Robert Scholte commented on LANG-425:
-------------------------------------
I'm still wondering if there's enough interest.
The suggestion of James is a good start.
Maybe the following constructorswould be nice to include:
{code:title=StringSequence.java}
/** starting with first char of alpabet */
public StringSequence(String alphabet);
/** starting with 'offset' using chars in alpabet */
public StringSequence(String alphabet, String offset);
/** starting with first char of charRange */
public StringSequence(CharRange charRange)
/** starting with 'offset' using chars in charRange */
public StringSequence(CharRange charRange, String offset)
/** starting with first char of charSet */
public StringSequence(CharSet charSet)
/** starting with 'offset' using chars in charSet */
public StringSequence(CharSet charSet, String offset)
{code}
{code:title=IntegerSequence.java}
public IntegerSequence(Integer offset)
public IntegerSequence(Integer offset, int step)
{code}
{code:title=LongSequence.java}
public LongSequence(Long offset)
public LongSequence(Long offset, long step)
{code}
Every class would have a next() or nextValue(), maybe even previous or
previousValue()

> Key: LANG-425
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-425
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Don't you think it's kind of strange to have RandomUtils and
> RandomStringUtils, but not just the ordinairy SequenceUtils?
> I've seen commons-id in the sandbox, but maybe some basics should become part
> of commons lang.
> Most classes of within this package are stateless/static, or they have a
> state within a method (such as StrBuilder). SequenceUtils can only be static,
> if it has the startValue.
> For example
> {code}
> SequenceUtils.nextInt(10)
> SequenceUtils.nextString("MORE")
> SequenceUtils.nextBoolean(true) //ok, this one is stupid but quite clear
> SequenceUtils.nextString("C0DE", "0123456789ABCDEF") //next hexadecimal
> {code}
> any more ideas?
