Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6825:
--------------------------------------------
Both org.codehaus.plexus.util.StringUtils and maven-shared-utils should go
away. In many cases we can simply use the JDK. Otherwise the better choice is
org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils as it's actively supported, which is more
than we can say for plexus utils and maven-shared-utils. Generally we need to
get away from the idea that generic utilities should be implemented in maven
itself. They are better handled by Apache Commons, which focuses on those
things and is used and tested far beyond Maven.
