Collection of boilerplate code that should ease writing Java 8+ code
Murmur3-based hashing for arbitrary objects.
Implements a multiple-reader / single-writer lock relying on a single semaphore. Writers lock with write(), readers lock with read(). Both release the lock with release(). The lock must be used correctly by the programmer (releases made randomly are unchecked, and will break the locking system). Non-reentrant (calling write() twice produces a deadlock).
A set of utility methods for changing (through copy) the type of arrays. Allows for both widening and narrowing "casts" (with precision loss).
Flattens a recursive, hierarchical data structure to a Stream.
For instance:
Tree tree = new MyTree();
TreeNode root = tree.getRoot();
Stream<TreeNode> s = Streams.flatten(root, t -> t.getChildren().stream())Would traverse the tree breadth-first.
A collector that efficiently selects the desired number of smallest elements from the stream.
Returns a Guava MinMaxPriorityQueue, that is used to efficiently store only the required elements.
This collector has in general better performance than the equivalent .sort().limit().collect() chain.
I warmly suggest to use Gradle, Maven or a similar system to deal with dependencies within your project. In this case, you can use this product by importing the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.danilopianini</groupId>
<artifactId>boilerplate</artifactId>
<version>VERSION_YOU_WANT_TO_USE</version>
</dependency>or the following Gradle dependency:
compile 'org.danilopianini:boilerplate:VERSION_YOU_WANT_TO_USE'Alternatively, you can grab the latest jar and throw it in your classpath. In this case, be sure to include the dependencies of this project in your classpath as well.
