James Carman commented on LANG-458:
-----------------------------------
Are you an Apache Commons Committer? If not, then we can't assign it to you. However, I would like if some other folks on the Apache Commons team would chime in on this as to whether they think it's an appropriate addition to the API. If they're cool with it, I have no problem applying your patch for you. Don't worry, you'll get credit since your patch is listed here. :)
> Add methods to return boolean from Validate.java instead of throwing IllegalArgumentException

> I am using Validate.java since long and find it difficult to use when I just want to validate collections or string.
> With current interface, I go like this:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> Validate.notEmpty(list1);
> } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> much better approach is:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> if(! Validate.notEmpty(list1)) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> If you all agree with this change, I am willing to submit a patch for this.
