Min / max function of two Comparables

1. From java.util.Collections: Collections.max() and Collections.min()

   Comparable<C> a = ...;
   Comparable<C> b = ...;
   Comparable<C> min = Collections.min(Arrays.asList(a,b));
   

2. From org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils : ObjectUtils.max() and ObjectUtils.min()

   Comparable<C> a = ...;
   Comparable<C> b = ...;
   Comparable<C> min = ObjectUtils.min(a, b);
   

Apache Commons has less overhead and is able to handle null values, but it is a third party library.
