RE: [lang] Adding method to StringUtils (Was: Introduction)

Sorry, I didn't see those rules.

We have the method below in our code and I was wondering what it takes to
get something like that added (assuming it doesn't already exist) to
StringUtils or CharSetUtils(or the appropriate place).  I read
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/patches.html so is there anything else to
know?  Actually I am interested in reviewing my company's generic methods
and adding anything extra to commons and switching over to using commons.

    /**
     * Transposes the characters at the given index positions.
     * i.e switches the characters at the given indexes.
     */
    public static void Transpose(char[] chars, int i, int j) {
        char jc = chars[j];
        chars[j] = chars[i];
        chars[i] = jc;
    }//end-method

You need first to follow the 'rules' of the mailing list, which includes
prefixing mail subjects by the relevant commons project. You might be
talking about [lang] but I just don't know.

You might want to outline one idea in more detail.
