Shelf

shelf is an utility library which aims to complement modern versions of the Java standard libraries. It features easy-to-use classes that either function as drop-in replacements that perform better than the original, or fill some uncovered areas of the standard libraries. Its only requirement is Java 1.8 or greater, and has no dependencies.

Content

Given the early stage of this library, it only provides two main features:

• Throwing functional interfaces, which are alternatives to the interfaces found in java.util.function that allow an Exception to be thrown.
• The class Try<T>, a generalization of java.util.Optional<T> which is able to handle any arbitrary failure.

Maven

shelf is published in maven central. To use it, include the following dependency in your pom.xml.

<dependency>
	<groupId>eu.farsil.shelf</groupId>
	<artifactId>shelf</artifactId>
