I worked on the common.text package in order to: 1/ introduce concept of CharWriter (similar to java.lang.CharSequence but for write operations). 2/ introduce CharEncoder which defines an interface for encoding char stream to char stream. 3/ reimplement FastURLEncoder in a more reliable and faster way (java.netURLEncoder is broken and slow). 4/ implement FastURLDecoder for decoding x-www-formurl-encoded strings in a reliable and fast way (java.netURLDecoder is broken and slow). 5/ added TextTools (similar to other XXXTools).
