Benedikt Ritter closed LANG-924.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Changing this in not a good idea on second thought because it will produce 
stack traces like:

{code}

>                 Key: LANG-924
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-924
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: lang.reflect.*
>    Affects Versions: 3.1
>            Reporter: Benedikt Ritter
>             Fix For: Review Patch
>
>
> Methods in FieldUtils validate input using code like:
> {code}
> Validate.isTrue(cls != null, "The class must not be null")
> {code}
> This could be changed to:
> {code}
> Validate.notNull(cls, "The class must not be null")
> {code}
> However this could affect client code, since isTrue(boolean) throws 
> IllegalArgumentException and notNull throws NullPointerException.
