Andreas Lundblad created LANG-1281:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Javadoc of StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf is contradictory.
                 Key: LANG-1281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1281
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: lang.*
    Affects Versions: 3.5
            Reporter: Andreas Lundblad
            Priority: Minor


Javadoc of StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf states the following:

"The code increments the starting index by one, rather than by the length of 
the match string, so matches may overlap."

But then gives the following example:

StringUtils.ordinalIndexOf("aabaabaa", "", 2) = 0

which clearly indicates that it does *not* increment the starting index by one 
in case of the empty string.
