Henri Yandell closed COLLECTIONS-223.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Boolean is most useful imo. It tells you something (things changed) whereas 
returning the object is a minor bit of code help. Keeping the code as is.

> CollectionUtils.addAll() methods should return the input collection

> Like MapUtils.putAll() method returns input map, CollectionUtils.addAll() 
> methods should return the input collection.
> This will allow to init and populate collection at the same line:
> ArrayList inputs = (ArrayList) CollectionUtils.addAll(new ArrayList(), new 
> String[] { "value1", "value2" });
