The pre-christmas time is always pretty busy for me :-) Your Fluent String Utils wrapper looks generally useful, however I'm not sure whether is fits into Commons Lang. Lang has a rather conservative API design (meaning, we don't have any fluent APIs yet). This would not be a blocker but the following definitely is: - Requires Java 8 - Lang is on Java 6 - Has dependencies to net.jcip:jcip-annotations:1.0 and org.jetbrains:annotations:15.0 - Lang should have little to no dependencies So maybe you can simply publish this as an additional library for commons-lang3. If you would like to work on fluent APIs, you should have a look at BeanUtils2 [1] which has a really nice one.
