I was looking for an easy way to populate a combo box with strings taken from an enumeration, and also to be able to pull out Enum objects from the combo box. After some searching, I found EnumComboBoxModel on the JDesktop website, but was not able to find any code.

Instead I came up with an easier solution that did not require me to define a new Model class, but instead uses javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel.

Sorry for the disorganization of the code, but hopefully you get the idea.

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

Example:

}


See also DirectoryScanner class.

This class illustrates mixed GUI/command line parameters passing. Any parameter may be specified in the command line. All unspecified parameters will be read using GUI dialog box.

This snippet illustrates following:

1. Using http request to get the data
2. Parsing RSS feeds
3. Sending email

I'm in the process of writing test fixtures for our rails site. A lot of my tests require authentication, so I've had to port our permissions system into a fixture. Rather than type out all of the information for the fixture, I decided to create a nested loop that will take care of this for me.

There's probably a rake task for this, but I wasn't able to find it, so I came up with my own solution. You'll have to do a little cleanup when it's done, however some slight mods to this loop could even eliminate that.

This function returns a Date object being set at 12 A.M. It is useful for comparing dates where you don't know if they'll come set at the beginning of the day or not.
