Using RandomStringGenerator from RandomStringUtils sounds good, but

I haven't understood it that way; IIRC it was suggested that
"Commons Text" would additionally provide the same easy-to-use
API (alias "RandomStringUtils") as is currently in "Commons
Lang".
When available, "RandomStringUtils" will be deleted from the
latter, and users will have to modify their "import" statement.

At the moment the only dependencies are for testing [1].
I am more of a -0 about adding the dependency, because this implies
that all projects using commons-lang have to deliver commons-text
too.
Optional dependencies seem to be a solution, but [2] shows that these
dependencies should be avoided if possible.

Betreff: Re: [LANG] Releasing 3.6.1
Hi Rob,
Looking at frequency I think more number of requests coming for
RandomStringUtils for its simplicity.
RandomStringGenerator is strong , flexible but one can't use it
quickly.
Also I think this tool should belong in Commons text's arsenal. I'm
not
only moving RandomStringUtils to text but changing its core logic
with
using RandomStringGenerator which seems fair to me. So finally we
should release
text-1.2 rather doing rollback of deprecation and release lang
3.6.1,
WDYT ?
Regards,
Amey
