[jira] Closed: (COLLECTIONS-223) CollectionUtils.addAll() methods should return the input collection

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-223?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed COLLECTIONS-223.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Boolean is most useful imo. It tells you something (things changed) whereas returning the object is a minor bit of code help. Keeping the code as is.

> Like MapUtils.putAll() method returns input map, CollectionUtils.addAll() methods should return the input collection.
> This will allow to init and populate collection at the same line:
> ArrayList inputs = (ArrayList) CollectionUtils.addAll(new ArrayList(), new String[] { "value1", "value2" });
