Hi,
The proposed method is related to objects. As we have StringUtils.isBlank(),
isNotBlank(), isEmpty() etc., the ObjectUtils.isNotNull(Object... objs) is
intended to check if all objects are not null. So, instead of
if (obj1 != null && obj2 != null && obj3 != null && obj4 != null) {
// Do something...
}
we have
if (isNotNull(obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4) {
// Do something...
}
The StringUtils.firstNonNull() returns the first object that is not null
(equivalent to something that returns true if there is at least one object
that is not null). The isNotNull() returns true if all objects are not null.

WRT #firstNonNull, I don't know why I couldn't find it before. I do now,
and I agree it would seem to fit better in ArrayUtils.

I've re-read the original code and you're right.
