CNTOOLS - achieve more with less code

CNTOOLS was created to help in the Development of JoeyMail.net and the associated kids Webstart Application.

It includes libraries for: SVG Animation - including animated SVG characters Resource Loading (from anywhere including within Webstart Apps) Screen stacks and UI (like mobile interfaces but in Swing) Declarative events Sprites Sounds and much more.

It includes a bunch of handy classes for stream processing and doing things that you would be writing repeated chunks of code for.

It is evolving as I write the application that uses it. Whenever I find myself copying a common bit of code, I abstract it out and make it a utility class.

I use maven to build these projects. Install maven and then type: mvn install

From the this folder. The projects should import into eclipse(with the maven plugin) or netbeans as well.

Note: Sometimes the cntools-animator project needs a couple of goes because time sensitive tests fail. If you can figure out what needs to change I'd love to know ;-)

To keep the code clean I've tried not to have any main methods in classes. Instead I put them in the cntools-examples projects in a similary named package to the class being exercised.

I hope you find some or all of it useful.

Enjoy!
