This section of our GIT repository is free. You may copy, use or rewrite every single one of its contained projects to your hearts content. In order to get help with basic GIT commands you may try the GIT cheat-sheet on our homepage.
This repository is private since this is the master- and release-branch. You may clone it, but it will be read-only.
If you want to contribute to our repository (push, open pull requests), please use the copy on github located here: the public github repository
All of our projects facilitate the Project Lombok. So please download it and 'install' it in your preferred IDE by clicking on the downloaded jar-file. Then all compile-errors should vanish.
Beware: Project Lombok currently doesn't play well with Eclipse Mars (4.5). You'll get build-errors using the extension methods as of now.
This is yet another synchronization program. I've come across the problem when I wanted to backup my large music-collection periodically. Some things change, most of them don't. Depends on how many albums I am buying at the moment. Usually I'm fine with just copy-pasting the root folders from the source-pladder to the backup-disc.
But every now and then I move a folder. And that's where the problem starts. The copy-paste technique doesn't delete the old, now superfluous folder.
That's where this program comes in. You point it at one or more source directories and a single target directory and it tells you exactly how many files and folders there are to create/replace/delete and then does so.
You may use it with a config-file or command-line parameters.
First, you'll need the Java JRE version 1.8 (Java SE 8) or higher.
Make sure that java.exe is on your path, or start the following commands with the path to your java installation (the /bin directory of the one you've just downloaded).
Start the program, as you would start any jar by typing:
java -jar syncdir-0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar
or put these lines in a batch-file (should be more convenient):
java -jar syncdir-0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar %*
pause
We've put one in the target folder already for your convenience.
usage: syncdir [options] <source> [<source>...] <target>
- <source> [<source>...] <target> a space-separated list of source
directories followed by a single
target directory. If you specify the
target directory only, then syncdir
assumes you want to use your current
directory as source. Encase in " to
support spaces in your
directory-names
-? see -h
-A see -a
-a,--analyze doesn't synchronize your directories
by actually executing the calculated
changes. Just prints out the
detailed analysis of what would have
happened. Argument -p is redundant
when using this option
-D see -d
-d,--delete when synchronizing, files and
directories on the target without
matching source get deleted
-H see -h
-h,--help displays this information
-P see -p
-p,--print prints the detailed analysis of
what's going to happen
Also, you may specify a valid apache-configuration config file as the first and only parameter.
If you don't specify any parameters at all, the program will try to fall back on a file named
'config.properties' located in the directory you started the application from.
Here is an example of a config-file. I like to think it is very self-descriptive:
# Here you can specify how the program behaves. We have several modes
# at your disposal which are described in detail below.
#
# Currently supported modes are:
# sync Does a synchronization run using all provided parameters.
# analyze When specified without 'sync' it just analyzes the directories
# without doing any changes. When specified in addition to the
# 'sync' parameter, it prints out the analysis before doing
# changes.
# delete Optional parameter for the 'sync'-mode.
# When specified deletes directories and files present on the
# target, but not present on the source. When not specified the
# program just accumulates data in the target directory, never
# deleting obsolete files or directories.
#
# The order of the words doesn't matter.
mode = analyze sync delete
#mode = sync
#mode = sync analyze
#mode = sync delete
#mode = sync analyze delete
# This is the target-directory where the program will copy the files to.
targetDir = //babylon5/Movies3/target
# The directories where your source-files and directories are located.
#
# IMPORTANT FOR ALL PATH-SPECIFICATIONS:
# Always use forward slashes ('/') like in the examples below!
# Don't ever use backslashes ('\') since there are multiple issues with the
# JVM on different systems (non-windows) causing the command-line calls
# to fail!
#
# If you want to specify more than one, just add another sourceDirs-parameter
# (same name) below the current one.
sourceDirs = //babylon5/Movies3/source1
sourceDirs = //babylon5/Movies3/source2
#sourceDirs = C:/
#sourceDirs = G:/
#sourceDirs = H:/DVDs/syncdir
syncdir myconf.properties
syncdir -a -d c:/test/source c:/test/target
syncdir -d //myserver/c$ //myserver/backupdisk
syncdir -a c:/test/source c:/test/target
