Development Entropy Shared Utils is a shared library of utility classes used by various Deventropy projects. It does not contain any public use APIs in itself.
This library aims to have a minimal set of dependencies to keep the import impact minimal. Or it will have imports marked optional.
The library has the following utilities (all in the package org.deventropy.shared.utils):
| Utility | Summary | Additional Documentation | Additional Dependency |
|---|---|---|---|
| ArgumentCheck | Methods to validate parameters to methods (null checks, etc.) | ||
| ClassUtil | Utility to find appropriate class loaders / resources in the classpath. | ||
| UrlResourceUtil | Methods to normalize access to resources across multiple sources (classpath, file system, etc.). The formats supported by this class are documented in Resource Location Formats | Resource Location Formats | |
| DirectoryArchiveUtil | Rudimentary methods to create zip or jar files for entire contents of a directory. | Directory Archive Util Guide | org.apache.commons:commons-compress |
