Gregor B. Rosenauer commented on LANG-1344:
-------------------------------------------
good points, as always, a seemingly small change is not trivial to implement;)
But in my example above, I had 0 days, so you actually proved my point that it
is not very well readable...;)
So I agree with you that care should be taken what to leave out, I was also
only thinking of skipping leading or trailing empty parts.
This could be added as an option similar to {{suppressLeadingZeroElements}}.

> Project: Commons Lang

> Affects Versions: 3.6
> Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer
> Priority: Minor
>
> }}DurationFormatUtils only allow to exclude leading or trailing zeroes, but
> not empty parts alltogether, e.g. when a position is 0 (0 days or hours).
> This would improve readability and look better in most cases where the
> duration can vary between seconds or days and I don't want to special case,
> e.g. having it print
> {{2s}} instead of {{0d 0h 00m 02s}}.
