Sebb commented on LANG-1403:
----------------------------
Are we sure that the Object method is not useful?
If we are, then I agree that deprecation would be a good first step, as at
least there would be a warning at compile time.
Removal would require a change of package name and Maven coords as well as
major version change.
> DateUtils.truncate(Object date, int field) breaks Java type safety.

> Key: LANG-1403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1403
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 3.7
> Reporter: Christian
> Priority: Minor
>
> The DateUtils.truncate have three types of possible date input.
> Calendar, Date, and Object.
> The method which accept object as input is not necessary and will break the
> type safety idea of java itself, so a wrong object will cause an runtime
> exception and can't be found at compile time.
>
> Solution:
> remove DateUtils.truncate(Object, int) method.
