Robert Scholte commented on LANG-425:
-------------------------------------
Both generics and autoboxing are features of java5, while commons-lang must be
able to compile with java 1.3. But with LangTwo this will become possible.
Of course it's possible to create the classes with these ideas in mind. So I
guess for commons-lang no generic interface yet.
And considering the hasNext()-issue: even that is possible. For instance: when
using Integer.MAX_VALUE together with the IntegerSequence the method wil return
false.

> 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?
