Hi Steven,
Yes, it does seem like an oversight. There are some other alternatives
that might be considered.
.toMillis() > 0 // Might throw an exception for very large or
small durations.
I create an issue: 8171382 java.time.Duration missing isPositive method
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8171382>
To look at it for the next release.

Hi core-libs-dev,
My coworker and I were just puzzling over the seemingly trivially missing
java.time.Duration#isPositive
There are already "isNegative" and "isZero" -- but for isPositive the best
we came up with were awful things like
!isZero() && !isNegative()
!.negate().isNegative()
.compareTo(Duration.ZERO) > 0
but all of these feel way worse than a simple isPositive method.
Can you shed some light as to why this is missing?
Thanks!
Steven
