> I used something similar from the Spring Framework and it was useful. I 
> suggest two methods where the second is a little more advanced then theirs.
> First a method StringUtils.isText(String text) : boolean which checks if the 
> String is not null and contains a least one not whitespace character. (In 
> Spring it's "hasText", but "isText" seams to be more consistent within 
> commons lang.)
> The second method could be StringUtils.isText(String text, int n) : boolean 
> which checks if the String is not null and contains a least n not whitespace 
> characters.
> Question: What happens if a (stupid ;-) developer checks for -5 characters? I 
> think it should throw an IllegalArgumentException.
