A small library containing Java objects I'm missing the most.
I wrote these objects at least twice in all my life... sometimes more.
I remember the time Java 8 and the new "time" package was out when I realised that they forgot to add the object Interval found for example in JodaTime.
I am pretty sure I wrote an object to represent Money at least 10 times and I was really disappointed when I read
the reference implementation Moneta of JSR-354: so many objects for what?
On the other hand, I don't mind if I had to write again and again those objects. I think it has been a good exercise... a sort of Object Calisthenics.
I hope you'll find something interesting in this library that you can use in your projects.
NOTE: some objects have been moved to commons-finance.
The main characteristic of the objects contained in this library is that they represent a specific unique concept
in the real world. For other objects (e.g. Money), the representation used in this library can be used in a lot of
bounded contexts.
Another criteria used to consider an object suitable for this library is that all objects provided by
themissingobjects have to be written in pure java (no additional dependencies allowed).
You can read the Javadoc of:
- 0.0.7: stable version (alpha)
- 0.0.8-SNAPSHOT: unstable version
I am a fan of Javadoc since I started programming with Java and I do not agree that it is a useless things even if you
write clean code. I have my style influenced by the communication style used in Javadoc of Java. Some years ago, I started
following these rules shared by Stephen Colebourne
author of JodaTime.
Let me know if something is not clear.
In order to create a new release, you need a Sonatype account.
Follow the OSSRH Guide provided by Sonatype in order to create
it and configure your environment.
After that, you have to contact me and I'll grant deploy permissions to the same group/project.
When your environment is configured, you can:
- Release an unstable version using the command
mvn deploy -Prelease - Release a stable version using the command
mvn -B release:prepare release:perform
