Introduction

Various patterns for object-oriented programming.

Setup

Installing requirements

This project aims to be compatible with the latest JDK versions.

To get the requirements, follow these steps:

• install a Java Development Kit (JDK): there are many, and the best one at the moment is Eclipse Temurin
• install Maven

To verify your JDK installation:

• check the compiler: javac -version
• check the application launcher: java -version
• check the archive tool: jar --version

Installing an IDE

You can use either Eclipse or a compatible setup, for example:

• Eclipse
• VS Code + Java Extension Pack

Preparing the project files

To easily create a project for Eclipse or any other compatible IDE, copy the files from tools/ide/eclipse into the project root (next to this README file). This will copy the necessary configuration into the project directory. Once you have done that, you will be able to import the project into your IDE. For example:

• for Eclipse: Import > General > Import Existing Project into Workspace
• for VS Code: File > Open Folder...

Running

Each particular pattern (iterator, observer, etc.) is a self-contained project, with their own main function.

Using the solutions

To run the solutions, replace the contents of the src folder with the contents of the src-solutions folder.
