Paul Benedict commented on LANG-753:
------------------------------------
This is not a bug. We changed notNull() to throw NPE in 3.0 to align with the
JDK which is the "best practice". JDK 7 includes a similar public method in
java.util.Objects and also throws NPE on null.
> Validate.notNull() should throw IllegalArgumentException but throws
> NullPointerException

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: Oliver Siegmar
>
> Validate.notNull() throws an IllegalArgumentException in commons-lang 2.6,
> but in 3.0.1 it throws a NullPointerException. I can't find any note about
> this in the release notes. I think this is a regression, because it could
> break others code.
