Description

Add convenience APIs:

org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.encodeHexString(byte[], boolean):

    /**
     * Converts an array of bytes into a String representing the hexadecimal values of each byte in order. The returned
     * String will be double the length of the passed array, as it takes two characters to represent any given byte.
     *
     * @param data
     *            a byte[] to convert to Hex characters
     * @param toLowerCase
     *            <code>true</code> converts to lowercase, <code>false</code> to uppercase
     * @return A String containing lower-case hexadecimal characters
     * @since 1.11
     */
    public static String encodeHexString(final byte[] data, boolean toLowerCase)

org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.encodeHexString(ByteBuffer, boolean):

    /**
     * Converts a byte buffer into a String representing the hexadecimal values of each byte in order. The returned
     * String will be double the length of the passed array, as it takes two characters to represent any given byte.
     *
     * @param data
     *            a byte buffer to convert to Hex characters
     * @param toLowerCase
     *            <code>true</code> converts to lowercase, <code>false</code> to uppercase
     * @return A String containing lower-case hexadecimal characters
     * @since 1.11
     */
    public static String encodeHexString(final ByteBuffer data, boolean toLowerCase)
