James Sawle commented on LANG-1050:
-----------------------------------
Sorry for the delay to the response. The change I was referring to was the
change not to use Validate.notNull. On a previous fix, I was told it would be
changed during the merge. I can make the change today or tomorrow if needed to
try and make the weekend deadline for 3.4.
> Change nullToEmpty methods to generics
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1050
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1050
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: James Sawle
> Assignee: Duncan Jones
> Fix For: Review Patch
>
>
> Currently there are multiple Object based methods which could be replaced by
> a single generic method.
> - public static Long[] nullToEmpty(final Long[] array)
> - public static Integer[] nullToEmpty(final Integer[] array)
> - public static Short[] nullToEmpty(final Short[] array)
> - public static Character[] nullToEmpty(final Character[] array)
> - public static Byte[] nullToEmpty(final Byte[] array)
> - public static Double[] nullToEmpty(final Double[] array)
> - public static Float[] nullToEmpty(final Float[] array)
> - public static Boolean[] nullToEmpty(final Boolean[] array)
> Recommendation, replace all of these with a single method that would also
> allow a defensive programming style when not using wrapped primitives.
> - public static <T> T[] nullToEmpty(final T[] array)
