I agree with Stephen. There are a slew of validation methods that would be beneficial, and if you really want to drive the JDK towards standard validation, refactor them out into a Validation class. Look at what Spring has written for themselves:

If such a validation class is added to the platform, the nonNull methods can be moved there. Until then, they can live in Objects.
