CustomExtensions

Making my Java development experience a bit more organized and a LOT less painful, one abstraction at a time.

Usage

Build the source into a standard (non-executable .jar)

• I know there's a main(), but this is an idea testing pad as well
  • This main was ametuerish testing. Will be removed in next major update.

Cool features

• Emulation of a C#-style Int.TryParse()

  • The implementation is fare from perfect,

• Covers some of the bases overlooked but Google's Guava

• Though the code isn't as impressive, mind you, there are functions I haven't seen elsewhere

• Check out the Collections package. There's a lot in there that I'm proud of.

  • Especially some of the more advanced generics programming you can do.
    • Great example: CollectionExtension.castBetter()
  • SizedLinkedList and the Tuple<T1...T5> are pretty cool

• MathExtension

  • Takes the guess work out of using Random.

Where it is

As of 24/09/2015, it's usable and stable.

• In many projects of mine, these functions have made life easy
• I find the schemes logical, or at worst the least of evils available

Where help is needed

• Naming convention

  • I am not a rock star at naming things

• Code quality improvements

  • I wrote lots of this at different stages in my development career
  • Some of the code is fairly amatuer, but I'm looking for someone to help me this endeavor

• More testing coverage

• Expert critique

  • This has been my pet project for ages
  • Experienced eyes need to chew it to bits and make me better

• (As of 25/01/2016) Needs more flushed out Collections-typed functionality.

  • What is there as of now, while highly effective, is minimal. This library can be more.
