>            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb

> Primarily the code looks like this currently:
> {code:java}
> if (param == null)
> throw new IllegalArgumentException(param + " is null");
> {code}
> But not all places have the message in the exception, and not all places check the parameters as they should, and not all places have the same message.
> So, regularize this checking everywhere by making common "core" methods to do this null check (or other checks, such as <= 0, etc.) so that the checking and messaging are common.  This also simplifies the code, and with JIT compiling shouldn't affect runtime speed either, as this common method should get compiled and/or inlined as appropriate.
