BitArrayInputStream
Sometime you just have to read the bits one by one at least now you don’t need to write your own class to do it. This class works for ‘Little Endian’ or ‘Big Endian’. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 [...]
Ignore Compiler Warnings
Let me be upfront, I will be the first person to tell you that you should treat a warning as if it were an error. The compiler is trying to tell you something, it wants to help you. The very smart people who are designing our compiler aren’t identifying code patterns and exposing them as [...]
Integer IP Addresses
I know that every couple of years I need the snippet of code that helps me convert the integer version of an IP address back and forth to a string. You would think that after all this time I’d be able to write it blind. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [...]
Asynchronous Executor
I hate that sometimes I have to make calls to systems outside of my own system, essentially outside of my own control. And not all of these calls allow me to detect and recover when an operation is taking longer than it should. So I’ve written a class that allows you to execute a task [...]
Copying Files Using NIO
Prior to the JDK 1.4 introduction of the NIO package a tipical file copy routine would look something like: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 public static void copyFile(File in, File out) throws Exception { FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(in); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(out); [...]
