Gilles commented on TEXT-93:
----------------------------

Code 
[here|https://github.com/apache/commons-text/pull/54/commits/c1aabc0172e86f4f28a0444afebda335d144b039]
 looks suspicious:
# It seems that the argument of the method is modified, not the instance 
variable
# There are unnecessary conversion from {{Character}} to {{char}} and back

How about something like
{code}
public Builder selectFrom(Collection<Character> list) {
  characterList = new ArrayList<Character>();
  characterList.addAll(list);
  return this;
}
{code}
?



> RandomStringGenerator accepts a list of valid characters

>  implement a "selectFrom" feature:
>   RandomStringGenerator gen = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder()
>     .selectFrom(charArray)
>     .build();
> so we can pass a list of valid characters
