[jira] [Commented] (LANG-1093) Add ClassUtils.getAbbreviatedName

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1093?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14358455#comment-14358455 ]

--------------------------------------

GitHub user CodingFabian opened a pull request:

    LANG-1093 - Add ClassUtils.getAbbreviatedName()

    getAbbreviatedName() allows to create a short version of a class name.
    It accepts a parameter which gives the desired length, but ClassUtils will
    make sure that the result keeps most of its meaning, which can result in
    shorter or longer abbreviations than requested.
    
    This pattern is applied by logging frameworks and generally accepted to produce
    nice and understandable abbreviations.

> It would be really nice to have a class name shortener functionality available similar to what some logger frameworks use.
> I took the idea for my implementation from logback, including the quirky treatment of the desired length argument, feel free to discuss on the PR/here.
