Maven Quick Reference Card

I use normally the Content Assist in M2Eclipse Plugin to enter the maven commands, but if you use your own xml editor, a new Maven Quick Reference Card directly from Apache makes the life much easier. it contains the most basic items.

hope you enjoy using it.

Convert JUnit3 Tests modules to JUnit4

I needed to convert many test files to JUnit4, after a while, I considered that is a really painful task to do it manually. So I wrote a little program to automate the process.
I tested this application on a huge number of files wrote by various Persons and having various formats, therefore I hope that I works on every possible JUnit module.
Please send me a short comment if you found a case, that I didn't included in it.

you can call the application by entering this command on Command Line:

java -jar JUnit4Converter.jar -f <your JUnit3 Java file>

this will printout the converted file to Console, if you wanted to do an Inplace Conversion, add "-i" to commands.

java -jar JUnit4Converter.jar -i -f <your JUnit3 Java file>

You can access the application on Github

Read multiple files from Resource JAR or Disk

following to my further Post about loading one file from a JAR file or Disk, here is a method which loads directly multiple files. it will decide base of given URL, if it must load those files from Disk or a Resource JAR file.
In my sample, I wanted to be more detailed and load just XML files.

/**      * Loads multiple xml files from Disk or Resource JAR file.      *      * @param clazz current class      * @param path package path of resources      * @return the resource listing      * @throws URISyntaxException the URI syntax exception      * @throws IOException Signals that an I/O exception has occurred.      */     List<InputStream> loadMultipleResources(final Class<?> clazz, final String path) throws URISyntaxException, IOException {         final List<InputStream> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<InputStream>();         // it is a normal directory, so just find and list files with XML extension         URL directoryUrl = clazz.getClassLoader().getResource(path);         if (directoryUrl != null && directoryUrl.getProtocol().equals("file")) {             final File[] files = new File(directoryUrl.toURI()).listFiles(                     new FilenameFilter() {                         @Override                         public boolean accept(final File dir, final String name) {                             return name.endsWith(".xml");                         }                     });             for (final File f : files)                 listOfFiles.add(new FileInputStream(f));             return listOfFiles;         }         if (directoryUrl == null) {             final String packageName = clazz.getPackage().getName();             directoryUrl = clazz.getResource(packageName);         }         // the given path is a JAR file, so extract all XML Files from classpath and return their content as stream         if (directoryUrl.getProtocol().equals("jar")) {             final String jarPath = directoryUrl.getPath().substring(5, directoryUrl.getPath().indexOf("!"));             final JarFile jar = new JarFile(URLDecoder.decode(jarPath, "UTF-8"));             final Enumeration<JarEntry> entries = jar.entries();             while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {                 final String name = entries.nextElement().getName();                 if (name.startsWith(path) && name.endsWith(".xml")) { // filter according to the path                     String entry = name.substring(path.length());                     final int checkSubdir = entry.indexOf("/");                     if (checkSubdir >= 0) {                         entry = entry.substring(0, checkSubdir);                     }                     final InputStream inputStream = clazz.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(name);                                          listOfFiles.add(inputStream);                 }             }             return listOfFiles;         }         throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Cannot list files for URL " + directoryUrl);     }
