Library code

I’m uploading snapshots of my own internal utility classes,you can use them under the LGPL.

Highlights include:

• Static helper methods for boilerplate XML operations.
• Straightforward implementations of NamespaceManagers for use with XPath operations –including one which scans the target document for namespace/prefix bindings.
• A simple way to assign categories to items and extract simple frequency count stats (and a TableModel for the data)
• Swing dialog implementations for displaying error messages and OK cancel prompts.
• an isNullOrEmpty(String str) method as featured in .NET.

There is a binary JAR and a source JAR. I’m using the following dependency definition:

      <dependency>          <groupId>com.cantorva</groupId>          <artifactId>libraries</artifactId>          <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>      </dependency>

WordPress mangled the filenames slightly during upload,but the following command sequence addresses that and installs to your local repository:

mkdir cantorvaLibscd cantorvaLibs/curl http://cantorva.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/libraries-001-snapshot.jar >libraries-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jarmvn install:install-file -Dfile=libraries-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=com.cantorva -DartifactId=libraries -Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jarrm libraries-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jarcd ..rmdir cantorvaLibs/
