JavaCook Source Files
Please note the following changes since the Second Edition of the
Java Cookbook was published:
YOU NEED JAVA 8 TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPILE THIS WHOLE PACKAGE.
*) This is now being built for Java 7 & 8. Sorry if you are on some relic
platform that doesn't have Java 7 or some environment in which Java 7 is
not yet "approved", but the world has moved on; Java 6 is a relic, is
deprecated, and has been EOL'd by Oracle. I am updating the Cookbook
for Java 8 as you read this; Java 7 is now the minimum. You can probably
get by with a huge excludes list, but you're on your own if you do that.
Sorry, but the world keeps moving so the target has to keep moving.
*) The Java files are now in Java packages whose name corresponds
to the directory they are in (this is how most tools including
Ant and Eclipse expect to find things). They are further in the
subdirectory "src/main/java" which is where most *modern* tools
including Maven, Gradle, and others, expect them to be.
*) The index-bychapter file is substantially out of date since the
packagification "flag day". index-byname.html is up-to-date.
*) I am using Eclipse for most of my development. And Maven for
building. Thus any Ant scripts you find are out of date and unsupported;
if you get them working please send me a pull request against the git repo.
*) An unspecified number of files here are used in the Java Cookbook;
those that have been converted to the newest publishing software at
O'Reilly will have "// BEGIN" and "// END" comments to mark sections for
mechanical inclusion into the book. These are just comments and can be
completely ignored by people looking at the source code normally.
