Re: [OT][LANG] Blog post about Validate vs. Guava Preconditions
Definitely jealous about the no apologies - for both Java versions and removing methods from the API without changing package name.

Re: [OT][LANG] Blog post about Validate vs. Guava Preconditions
In general, it is going to be very, very hard for Commons to go up against guava. The Preconditions stuff is only the tip of the ice-berg. The advantages highlighted in the blog are typical of every aspect of guava ... well thought out (the different exception types and varargs for instance) and absolutely no apologies for requiring recent Java versions. To actually match the quality of guava, Commons would have to stop worrying about minutiae like whether or not there is a Validate.isNotEmpty and start pushing hard and fast against the real issues.
