James Carman commented on LANG-458:
-----------------------------------
I would perhaps check out:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html
to understand the "Apache Way". Basically, you start by submitting patches and
perhaps becoming active on the mailing lists. When someone on the PMC takes
notice of your contribution(s), they'll propose a vote to add you as a
committer and then let you know via email that you're "in" (if the vote passes
of course). Good luck and thanks for the interest in helping out!

> I am using Validate.java since long and find it difficult to use when I just
> want to validate collections or string.
> With current interface, I go like this:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> Validate.notEmpty(list1);
> } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> much better approach is:
> while(cnt < list.size()) {
> List list1 = list.get(cnt);
> try {
> if(! Validate.notEmpty(list1)) {
> continue;
> }
> }
> If you all agree with this change, I am willing to submit a patch for this.
