The standard Java libraries fail to provide enough methods for manipulation of its core classes. The Lang Component provides these extra methods.
The Lang Component will provide developers with a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably String manipulation methods, object reflection, basic numerical methods, creation and serialization, and System properties.
Additionally it contains an inheritable enum type, an exception structure that supports multiple types of nested-Exceptions, basic enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utilities dedicated to help with building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals.
