[jira] Reopened: (LANG-362) Add ExtendedMessageFormat to org.apache.commons.lang.text

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-362?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Niall Pemberton reopened LANG-362:
----------------------------------


OK I have a couple of points

 - Custom sub-formats are not supported - so if I embed a "custom" format in a choice format it throws an IllegalArgumentException. Do we want to support that scenario or document clearly that it doesn't work?
  (I did  make this point in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-362?focusedCommentId=12564290#action_12564290)

 - Now the setFormats(), setFormat(), and setFormatByArgumentIndex()  all throw UnsupportedOperationException I don't see the need for the logic to re-create the pattern - much simpler to just cache the pattern the EMF was created with and return that value in toPattern() - or am I missing something?

 - the test cases could (and IMO should) be simpler - currently there are four classes to test EMF (AbstractMessageFormatTest, ExtendedMessageFormatBaselineTest, MessageFormatExtensionTest. and MessageFormatTest) and I don't see why we don't just have one ExtendedMessageFormatTest). Tests are often a good way to look at how something works - so the simpler the better both for those maintaining it and users wanting to understand how to use it.
