[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-296?page=comments#action_12448305 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-296: ------------------------------------
On binary compatibility - it dictates which version of Lang it would go in (2.2.1, 2.3 and 3.0 being the potentials). Your reply on the LOC helps me summarize my thoughts on it - the chaining pattern usually saves N-1 lines, do we want to add it to only save 1 line? Or N-2 and 0 lines if the coder doesn't like accessor and mutator on the same line. > Add method chaining pattern to StopWatch > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-296 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-296 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: any > Reporter: Justin Pitts > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: MethodChainingPattern > > > Implement the method chaining pattern (similiar to StringBuffer) to mutator > methods. This enables the following code: > StopWatch s = new StopWatch().start(); > System.out.println(s.stop().getTime()); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
