SimpleDefaultMethods

This projects provides an annotation processor to provide default parameters for methods inside java

Disclaimer

private methods are not supported!

How to use

As project currenlty not published to major maven repos please add:

repositories {
   maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/wgr1984/SimpleDefaultMethods"}
}

and the following two dependecies:

annotationProcessor "de.wr.simpledefaultmethods:simpleDefaultMethodsProcessor:0.1"
provided "de.wr.simpledefaultmethods:libSimpleDefaultMethods:0.1"

Now you can simply use the @Default annotations in order to have generated an java8-style interface enhancing the class with missing default methods:

public class TestObject implements de.wr.simpledefaultmethods.TestObjectDefaults {

    @Default
    public void testMethod(int i, @DefaultBool(true) boolean b, String s, @DefaultChar('b') char charTest) {

    }

    public void testMethod2(int i, @DefaultBool(true) boolean b, @DefaultString("test") String s) {

    }
}

this will allow you to use methods without the need of passing parameters annotated by default values

Note: Using @Default annotating the method itself will use default values zero / null / array[0] for non annotated parameters.
