I am sorry if my comment would be inappropriate, but is there a reason not to introduce "Optional<T> ifAbsent(Runnable emptyAction)" and change signature of ifPresent to "Optional<T> ifPresent(Consumer<? super T> consumer)"?
In that case method chaining would be more natural and it will give a decent way to have more than one simple action assigned to Optional without creating messy java block. --- Original message --- From: "Stuart Marks" <stuart.ma...@oracle.com> Date: 28 April 2016, 05:50:45 > > Is there a better way of doing this?
