[lang] ArrayUtils monster file
Hi there,
ArrayUtils is currently a 3800+ line monster file. I am working on
adding "add" and "addAll" methods for 2.1 and am wondering what folks
would think of a separate class for these ops: ArrayAddUtils?
AddArrayUtils?
Thanks,
Gary

Sounds like a good idea, depending on how many methods you're adding.
That's an incredibly large class, but all of the methods seem somewhat
simple,
so I could see arguments for keeping it together vs. breaking things apart.

We should think about this from the client's perspective. Clients
generally don't care how big the underlying implementation is. What
they care about is having a meaningful API to call. If we start
changing the client API simply because we think the implementation is
getting too big, well, then I think we have bigger problems... ;-)
