Event management is the backbone of any large scale software system. For some reason the JDK does not include this vital component, and instead reimplement it for each component needing the functionality. The present solution is simple, yet complete and capable of fulfilling all needs of any client.
event.jar
A directory structure is a collection almost as common as a list or a stack. Still the JDK lacks a proper implementation of this other than in Swing where the API is GUI based. Note that this module has nothing to do with file systems.
directory.jar
DirectoryEntry.java
DirectoryItem.java
Folder.java
SymbolicLink.java
This is a classic implementation of a JDK TreeModel interface for a file system where care has been taken to make it properly updated when the file system changes.
filesystem.jar
The JDK actually lacks a proper date class. java.util.Date and Calendar are time classes really, and are messy to use when dealing with days only. The Day class provided here has a Calendar back-end, but hides the time component. The Time class inherits from Day and completes the picture.
day.jar
For simple timing of processes, algorithms, sequence or the entire JVM session.
timer.jar
Utility class for monitoring specified files or directories (java.io.File) in a file system. The monitor uses polling with a client specified polling interval, and report creation, changes and deletion through the listening interface.
filemonitor.jar
Simple extension to the JDK StringTokenizer with the ability to handle empty tokens.
tokenizer.jar
An iterator object that produce "nice" numbers within an interval. Useful for generating axes annotation. Support for bounded and unbounded intervals, minor nice numbers and minor minor nice numbers.
nicenumbers.jar
Utility for byte swapping of all java data types. Byte swapping is used when communicating binary data between little-endian and big-endian representations.
byteswapper.jar
