COLLECTIONS-604
Hi, I was thinking about the more uniform safe-null methods in CollectionUtils from jira task: COLLECTIONS-604. In my opinion it would be nice to have one way of treating null-safe methods. I decided to try wit the approach that the methods that already return Boolean values could be null-save. I would appreciate all kind of feedback on this task :)
@Kaammill The more I think about this change the more I think that there is a significant issue. Changing the code to not throw an NPE when the NPE was documented in the earlier release is (I think) a breaking change and would require a new major version.
Alternatively, a new set of classes that handle Null pointer arguments differently might be valuable. However, this is a discussion to have on the dev mailing list.
Are you still interested in making these changes?
