Henri Yandell commented on LANG-285:
------------------------------------

Aldrin's by-hand method does seem very painful in terms of maintenance. For=
 example there is nothing there for Hungarian accented characters yet or a =
German eszet.=20

The JDK itself is only going to be of help when it can do this for us - so =
not much use. So if we're going to have this method, it seems that we're pr=
etty much going to have to build it by hand and user submissions. The featu=
re doesn't seem that valuable to suck up that much time and effort - especi=
ally if JDK 6.0 will turn up with the solution.

I'm -0 on adding this to Lang. Too deep a feature to try and swallow.

As a sidenote - I wonder if we could ignore uppercase (use Character.isUppe=
rCase, then lowercase it, convert it and re-uppercase it on the other side =
if it was uppercase).=20

> I would like to add a method that replace accented caracter by unaccented=
 one.  For example, with the input String "L'=C3=A9t=C3=A9 o=C3=B9 j'ai d=
=C3=BB aller =C3=A0 l'=C3=AEle d'Anticosti commenca t=C3=B4t", the method w=
ould return "L'ete ou j'ai du aller =C3=A0 l'ile d'Anticosti commenca tot".
> I suggest to call that method unaccent and to add it in StringUtils.
> If we cannot covert all case, the first version could only covert iso-885=
9-1.
> If you are willing to go forward with that idea, I am willing to contribu=
te a patch.
