Henri Yandell closed LANG-842.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Resolving per the above.

I've noted the inconsistency in a JDK 1.8 related issue for an overhaul of the date code: LANG-923

>                 Key: LANG-842
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-842
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: lang.*, lang.time.*
>    Affects Versions: 3.2
>            Reporter: Pier-Luc Caron St-Pierre
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> The comparaison api is lacking of consistency with null.
> Few instances : 
> org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils#equals returns false if one of the parameter is null.
> org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils#equals returns false if one of the parameter is null.
> org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils#truncatedCompareTo throws IllegalArgumentException if one of the parameter is null
> org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils#isSameInstant throws IllegalArgumentException if one of the parameter is null
> I do not have any suggestion to fix that problem because any solution would break backward compatibility.
