[jira] Closed: (LANG-425) Sequence(String)Utils

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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-425?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Robert Scholte closed LANG-425.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Ok, I'll close it myself.

With java5 this has become less interesting, maybe even useless. There are two reasons:
- autoboxing (although I don't know if I really like this feature)
- the atomic toolkit ( http://www.j2ee.me/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/atomic/package-summary.html )

> Don't you think it's kind of strange to have RandomUtils and RandomStringUtils, but not just the ordinairy SequenceUtils?
> I've seen commons-id in the sandbox, but maybe some basics should become part of commons lang.
> Most classes of within this package are stateless/static, or they have a state within a method (such as StrBuilder). SequenceUtils can only be static, if it has the startValue.
> For example
> {code}
> SequenceUtils.nextInt(10)
> SequenceUtils.nextString("MORE")
> SequenceUtils.nextBoolean(true) //ok, this one is stupid but quite clear
> SequenceUtils.nextString("C0DE", "0123456789ABCDEF") //next hexadecimal
> {code}
> any more ideas?
