Possible implementation of max/min using generics
-------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-495
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-495
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sebb
Attachments: ObjectUtils.patch
Attached is a patch to add generics to max and min.
It seems to work OK with the current tests.
It causes a compile-time error if one tries to code e.g.
ObjectUtils.max(String,Integer).
Previously that was allowed, but would cause a class cast exception at run time.
Can anyone review please?
BTW, the tests for max/min use Comparable instead of Date - is there a good
reason for this? User code is likely to use the actual type in this case.
Changing Comparable to Date fixes various raw type warnings.
