Cédrik LIME commented on LANG-285:
----------------------------------
Yes, it is a lot of code, mainly due to the use of reflection.
The benefit is that it works both on Java 5 ({{sun.text.Normalizer}}) and Java
6 ({{java.text.Normalizer}}).
You can delete everything related to ICU4J should you wish to save 1/3 of
lines; it is not really needed (only on non-SUN 1.5 JVMs).
> Wish : method unaccent

> Key: LANG-285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-285
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: Guillaume Coté
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0

> Attachments: LANG-285-unaccent-using-Collator.patch, LANG-285.patch,

> I would like to add a method that replace accented caracter by unaccented
> one. For example, with the input String "L'été où j'ai dû aller à l'île
> d'Anticosti commenca tôt", the method would return "L'ete ou j'ai du aller à
> l'ile d'Anticosti commenca tot".
> I suggest to call that method unaccent and to add it in StringUtils.
> If we cannot covert all case, the first version could only covert iso-8859-1.
> If you are willing to go forward with that idea, I am willing to contribute a
> patch.
