Re: bug in stringhelper

The patch you sent seems to be modifying StringHelper::endsWith, not 
::startsWith and then intent was that
StringHelper::endsWith("foobar", "bar") == true

I believe the existing code would do that and the patched version would 
not but haven't had a chance to create a unit test case for those 
functions.
Could you describe the symptom that you believe that a bug in 
StringHelper is causing? It would be helpful if you could also create a 
test case for every bug that you fix so that we can detect regressions. 
I'd also prefer that you use Jira to submit patches.
