Sebb commented on LANG-890:
---------------------------
Oops!
In that case, I think this issue should be closed as Won't Fix - I cannot see

The class is already so large that it's easy to overlook methods!

> Currently, no java uitility package offers a method to compare two strings
> which differ only in format & white spaces for equality. The common scenario
> when we need such a method would be (a) when one needs to perform equality
> check between two narrative fields in a SWIFT message or (b) to compare a
> paragrapgh retreived from different files.
> Please advise on how i can share the code for this new method. thank you
