             Summary: RandomStringUtils throws confusing IAE when end <= start
                 Key: LANG-807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-807
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb
            Assignee: Sebb
            Priority: Minor


RandomUtils invokes Random#nextInt(n) where n = end - start.

If end <= start, then Random throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: n must be positive

This is confusing, and does not identify the source of the problem.
