Gary D. Gregory commented on LANG-1779:
---------------------------------------
Or, a local variable or parameter can be typed as a CharSequence if that works
for the rest of the local context.

> Key: LANG-1779
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1779
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.18.0
> Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am a developer on Apache NIFI and I am trying to replace the use of the now
> deprecated method removeFirst whose first argument is a String and replace it
> with the new method removeFirst whose first argument is a CharSequence. The
> problem I am encountering is the Java compiler always picks methods based on
> specificity which would be the deprecated method whose argument is String
> which is more specific than a CharSequence. Hence I cannot ever use the new
> method. I assume this will also be a problem for the removeAll methods.
