[jira] [Commented] (IO-365) NullPointerException IOUtils

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-365?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13568055#comment-13568055 ] 

Sebb commented on IO-365:
-------------------------

A null parameter will generate a NullPointerException for most of the method parameters in IOUtils.

Is it really worth checking for null and reporting IllegalArgumentException?

For most cases, the check will just be unnecessary, and it should be fairly obvious what the cause of the problem is.

However, it might be worth adding explicit Javadoc.

Patches welome.
