Gareth Carter commented on OFBIZ-6291:
--------------------------------------

"int i = foo.compareTo(baz); return i <= 0; this is an anti-pattern. Remove the 
use of the local variable." - Really? Creating a local variable that is useful 
for debugging is considered an anti pattern? Can you provide a source?

I doubt it's that much slower but will do some testing on it. See 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/103564/the-performance-impact-of-using-instanceof-in-java
 for some performance tests.

Personally, I think catching and swallowing any exceptions into a blackhole for 
this purpose is an anti pattern. http://www.odi.ch/prog/design/newbies.php
