             Summary: Add Overloading Methods To EnumUtils
                 Key: LANG-1495
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1495
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Cheong Voon Leong


I would like to add 2 overloading methods to EnumUtils, getEnum and getEnumIgnoreCase.

Instead of returning null, if not found. In my opinion I think allowing user to set a default result is a better approach or return an Optional.
  
{noformat}
public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnum(final Class<E> enumClass, final String enumName) {
 return getEnum(enumClass, enumName, null);
 }

public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnum(final Class<E> enumClass, final String enumName, E defaultEnum) {
 if (enumName == null) {
 return defaultEnum;
 }
 try {
 return Enum.valueOf(enumClass, enumName);
 } catch (final IllegalArgumentException ex) {
 return defaultEnum;
 }
 }
{noformat}
  

 
{code:java}
public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnumIgnoreCase(final Class<E> enumClass, final String enumName) {
 return getEnumIgnoreCase(enumClass, enumName, null);
 }
public static <E extends Enum<E>> E getEnumIgnoreCase(final Class<E> enumClass, final String enumName, E defaultEnum) {
 if (enumName == null || !enumClass.isEnum()) {
 return defaultEnum;
 }
 for (final E each : enumClass.getEnumConstants()) {
 if (each.name().equalsIgnoreCase(enumName)) {
 return each;
 }
 }
 return defaultEnum;
 }
{code}
