Commons Lang is a set of utility functions and reusable components that should be a help in any Java environment. NEW FEATURES: Since the release of the b1 package the following have been added: lang. SystemUtils: Brings together many system specific variables under one easy component. exception. ExceptionUtils: Provides helpful static functions for dealing with Exceptions. NestableError : Adds nesting ability to Errors. enum sub-package: A solid version of the typical Java translation of a C enum. builder sub-package: A series of helpers for handling standard Object methods such as equals, toString, compareTo and hashCode in a professional manner. BUG FIXES: StringUtils.stripStart and stripEnd were improved to match their Javadoc. StringUtils.convertUnicodeToNative and convertNativeToUnicode both removed. Both methods did not work properly. DEPRECATIONS: Much of the exception subpackage was reworked betwen 1.0-b1 and 1.0. Apart from this the API should have a high level of backward compatibility.
