[jira] Commented: (MATH-374) [Enhancement] Request for public exception message strings on AbstractIntegerDistribution

["Gilles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-374?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12876695#action_12876695 ] 

Gilles commented on MATH-374:
-----------------------------

Given the pending issue [MATH-361|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-361], I think that it would be a bad idea. [One of the goals being that the message strings are stored in a text file.]
Making them public (or protected) would cement them as part of the interface.

> The Strings
>     /** Message for endpoints in wrong order. */
>     private static final String WRONG_ORDER_ENDPOINTS_MESSAGE =
>         "lower endpoint ({0}) must be less than or equal to upper endpoint ({1})";
>     /** Message for out of range point. */
>     private static final String OUT_OF_RANGE_POINT =
>         "{0} out of [{1}, {2}] range";
> are private.  It would be great if these were public, such that sub classes that override methods could maintain consistent exception messages.
