Webdings Tools

The Webdings Tools are a collection of useful classes Java developers might find useful.
Since the development of these tools commenced during the development of Jannis, they are hosted here within the Jannis project, even though Webdings Tools is a separate, independent package.

Please have a look at the Documentation.

Here's a short survey, only:

• Package de.webdings.tools
• • CharToFloat: a class for easily converting different types of character strings to floats
  • CharToInt: a class for easily converting different types of character strings to integers
  • CL (command line): gives basic simple command line features. CL was created to make it easy for developers to use command-line interactivity in their Java-programs.
  • MailtoLinkEncoder is used to encode the characters of an email address into browser-readable mixed characters from decimal and hexadecimal html encodings. This is useful for mailto-links in html in order to make it harder for harvester programs that scan websites for mailto-links and add them to spam-lists.
  • StringSearch: offers some basic search functions with Strings
• Package de.webdings.tools.files
• • TextFiles: makes it very easy to read and write text files
• Package de.webdings.tools.time
• • EasyDate: provides easy date-representing functionality
  • TimeSince: is used to tell how much time has passed between two points in time. It can present this timespan in different formats
