I wish a happy new year and i hope that all your expectations will come true! I would like to propose a new feature in apache commons... Wouldn't it be great if commons api provided a pointer operator (like ref in C#) so as to pass arguments in functions by references (only for primitive types...) and these arguments to change values... I would like to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks for your time! --00151751138e6d585e0498f4b8b4--
