Implementation-independent XML builder.

Configurable number formatter.

This class intended to collect TODO comments from java/c++/etc source files.

Example:

protected readFileData (String path) throws IOException {
// TODO: add try...catch block for IOException
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(path);
...
}


See also DirectoryScanner class.

This code illustrates using ruby REXML package. It converts J2EE web application deployment descriptor web.xml into Freemind mindmap document.

Creates a random string, usefull for passwords etc.

Use: $password = makeRandomPassword($Length);

If $Length is not specified (ie $password = makeRandomPassword();) then it will default to 8 characters

Log4J is a really nice Library that aims to facilitate outputting debugging information, but also relevant data, in Java applications. It is highly configurable, using both Categories and Class-Based rules, so that developers can narrow down the problems very well when debugging applications.

This is a function which generates random letters for password. Programers can use this at Microsoft Excel and so on.

Draws a line (with arrow head) between two given points.

More often than not, if your trying to work out what's going wrong with your subclass of InputStream, why the character encoding is getting lost in your database, or your file format reader is failing, you'll need to dump a byte buffer out in a useable form.

Here's two methods, one which appends to a StringBuffer, one which simply prints out to System.out

(NB: The line: sb.append( "n" ) ; SHOULD have a leading slash ie: sb.append( "\n" ) ; but the formatter seems to remove it...

If you have ever written a website or java application where people paste stuff in from Word, you are likely to have hit the problem of Word using high ascii chars for "open quotes", "close quotes", reg symbol, etc...

This java class (with a single static method) can replace the most prevalent of these with normal ascii values

Hope it helps someone...
