As I outlined in another thread, Lang 3.5 uses PropertyChangeListener, which in module terms pulls in the whole of Swing and AWT. For a library like [lang] that is a bad thing and should really be fixed. Fixing it properly requires a major release, which implies that Lang 4.0 is still Java 1.7 and should use the `org.apache.commons.lang3` package name. Yes, the versioning a bit of a mess, but you are where you are. More broadly, it needs to be established if a lang release for Java 8 is needed? What would it enable? Would a new commons project be a better place for them (ie. a new [core] or [eight] project)?
