How about either:
* StringUtils becomes an instance class that is configured at
construction time:
StringUtils utils = new StringUtils(someConfigurationObject);
...where the configuration object tells the new instance whether to
throw NullPointerExceptions, whether to treat zero-length strings and
all-whitespace strings in the same manner, etc., etc.
* StringUtils has a static method on it that configures the class in one
fell swoop (like above, but instead of a constructor)
* StringUtils has many fine-grained static configuration methods, so you
might do this:
StringUtils.setThrowNullPointerExceptions(true);
StringUtils.setTrimBeforeTests(true);
StringUtils.setSomethingElseContentious(true);
Cheers,
