[jira] Commented: (LANG-338) truncateNicely method which avoids truncating in the middle of a word

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-338?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12542147 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-338: This was flagged to go in Lang very early on, though I can't find the discussion against adding it yet. Everything seems to be +1 when I dig in the archives. PurpleTech Utils had a similar version with the name 'abbreviate'. I think that's a nicer name. Excalibur also has a truncateNicely - making me wonder if the patch to String Taglib had an Avalon history (or vice versa); however the implementations don't look at all similar. It should also go into WordUtils rather than StringUtils. > truncateNicely method which avoids truncating in the middle of a word > - > > Key: LANG-338 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-338 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature >Reporter: matt humphreys >Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.4 > > Attachments: LANG-338-cleaned.patch, LANG-338.patch > > > as provided by jakarta string taglib.
