This is a small library of code-pieces that I find useful in many of my projects.

It covers areas that I miss in the JDK itself e.g. for arrays and collections, logging, networking stuff, as well as helpers for testing.

Contents

Here an (incomplete) list of bits and pieces in this lib:

• MappedCounter - counting things easily
• DateParser - print out things like "1h 2min ago" instead of "at 2015-04-01 16:23:23"
• ExecutionHelper - More easily run external processes and collect their output using Apache commons-exec underneath
• DeleteOnCloseInputStream - Delete a file as soon as the stream is closed
• SVNLogFileParser - Parse the XML output of 'svn log --xml ...'
• ZipFileCloseInputStream - Close a ZipFile as soon as the related InputStream (usually returned by the ZipFile) is closed
• ZipUtils - utilities for accessing content in Zip files recursively, i.e. access a file in a zip file inside a zip file.

Please note that some testing related pieces were moved into their own library to better separate these things. Look at http://github.com/centic9/commons-test for more details.
