<h3>2. DEPENDENCIES</h3>
<p>The <em>Lang</em> component is dependent upon the following external
components for development and use:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se">Java Development Kit</a>
(Version 1.2 or later)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.junit.org">JUnit Testing Framework</a>
(Version 3.8.1 or later) - for unit tests only, not required
for deployment</li>
<li><a href="http://ant.apache.org">Apache Ant</a>
(Version 1.6 or later) - for building distributions</li>
</ul>

<h3>5. ACTION ITEMS</h3>
<p>Want to help? Here's some "to do" items the team has identified as possibly being in scope for Lang.
Note that all are still under discussion, so please mail the list before actioning.</p>
<ul>
<li>DateRange/Duration class.</li>
<li>CloneUtils - utility class to enable cloning via various different mechanisms.</li>
<li>StringUtils.reverseSplit(String, String delim, int count). Should basically be a 'reverseArray(reverseDelimitedString(split(txt, delim, count)))'.</li>
<li>AStringBuffer - A StringBuffer implementation with additional methods from StringUtils.</li>
<li>O(n) - Document all algorithm-implementing methods with the order. Possibly with an O(n) on the end of each parameterm or with an @order tag.</li>
<li>Money and Currency. Maybe separate project.</li>
<li>Code examples - Document as many static methods as possible with example usage.</li>
<li>Faster StringTokeniser - Is Java's slow?</li>
<li>StringUtilsNPE - A StringUtils that doesn't like nulls.</li>
</ul>
