Steve Gillam commented on LANG-769:
-----------------------------------
"no clear criteria as to which semantically rich description should be there
and which shouldn't" - admit there is little distinction between the two but
one of them should be. Or is it that 'without any clear criteria as to which
semantically rich descriptions' are missing we won't add 'any'? (this could be
said of any item within commons-lang(3) - if you disregard the argument
'because people want/use it').
'net searches reveal many patterns where a 'NotImplemented' semantic is useful
with no apparent supplier in the standard JDK - presumably hence its
(ex)presence in commons-lang.
One such pattern (beefing up the 'because it's needed' criteria) is to
systematize ignoring (via assumeException(...)) of developed (ie. not
@Ignore'd) test/src/java/* test cases where some aspect of that test's
implementation (movable as development progresses) throws
NotImplementedException in main/src/java/*
As it is I'm having to utilise commons-lang 2.4 (as use other commons-lang
goodies and frustrated that can't just bring in latest version)

> Why were these removed? I found these very useful and used them often. As the
> version 2.6 api javadoc states, "This exception supplements the standard
> exception classes by providing a more semantically rich description of the
> problem."
> Just want you to realize that these have found direct use outside the
> library; not just internal use within commons-lang.
> I will define these missing classes myself, or maybe include both
> commons-lang and commons-lang3 (but I really don't to do that). It would be
> very nice to have these back.
