[jira] Commented: (LANG-430) Add methods StringUtils.lowerCase(String, Locale) and StringUtils.upperCase(String, Locale)

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-430?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12592380#action_12592380 ] 

James Carman commented on LANG-430:
-----------------------------------

What does the upperCase() method buy us anyway?  Is it merely a null-safe alternative to String.toUpperCase()?

> Since the platform-dependence of [String.to*Case()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#toLowerCase()] is usually not intended, developers will specify a fixed locale when doing the case transformation (compare [Common Bug #3|http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Common-Bugs-p14931921s177.html]). There are currently not related methods in {{StringUtils}}.
