A couple of things I noticed. 1) In the JavaDocs section of the developer guide (http://people.apache.org/~bayard/commons-lang-3.0-beta-3/site/developerguide.html) it states that IllegalArgumentException should always be thrown instead of NullPointerException. However, changes for version 3.0 to the Validate class cause the "notNull" methods to throw NPEs instead of IAEs. The only class using Validate.notNull() at the moment appears to be the new EventListenerSupport class, but in the future if more classes make use of Validate for null checks, the NPEs will be throw instead. Should the developer guide be updated so that lang can eat its own dog food so to speak and use the Validate class?
2) The "What's new..." page (http://people.apache.org/~bayard/commons-lang-3.0-beta-3/site/article3_0.html) does not include the new events package or the new event utility classes. Not sure there are big holdups to anything. Maybe just something to address at some point. -Michael On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 2:50 AM, Henri Yandell <flame...@gmail.com> wrote: > Build 3 of the beta.
