What should be the demarcation between Commons Text, Commons Lang, and Commons BeanUtils: - Operations on Java primitive values, arrays, and locale-independent strings used in configurations or business logic clearly belong in Lang. - Handling of text for UI display belongs in Text. - String interpolation also falls under Text. - Everything that deals with `java.beans` should be in BeanUtils. - I’m less certain about reflection logic: BeanUtils feels like the natural home, although Lang currently also contains duplicates of it. I looked at the history and classes like `MethodUtils` appeared in BeanUtils two years before they were moved to Lang (2008 vs 2010).
