Description

We currently perform checks like:

Validate.isTrue(foo != null, ...) 

Which should be IMO:

Validate.notNull(foo, ...);

The difference being that the former throws IAE and the later NPE.
 
As with [collections], my argument is the same, the JRE uses Objects.requireNonNull() to throw an NPE, so I'd like to keep normalizing on that.
