[jira] [Commented] (MNG-6825) Cleaning Up dependencies plexus-utils/maven-shared-utils/commons-lang3/commons-io

["Elliotte Rusty Harold (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6825?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17695739#comment-17695739 ] 

Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6825:
--------------------------------------------

Both org.codehaus.plexus.util.StringUtils and maven-shared-utils should go away. In many cases we can simply use the JDK. Otherwise the better choice is org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils as it's actively supported, which is more than we can say for plexus utils and maven-shared-utils. Generally we need to get away from the idea that generic utilities should be implemented in maven itself. They are better handled by Apache Commons, which focuses on those things and is used and tested far beyond Maven.
