Class ShortString

java.lang.Object

org.zanata.util.ShortString

public class ShortString
extends Object

ShortStrings are meant for use in logging. They don't incur the cost of shortening until toString() is called. This means they hold on to the entire string, so don't bother keeping them around in memory for long.
