This is a collection of free (as in beer) Java code I’ve developed over the years.

Try downloading the demo app to get started.

Description

Here are screenshots of the demo app:

The topics addressed in this codebase vary (greatly), but common themes include:

The topics I tackle generally complement either work-related projects or personal (unpublished) projects.

History

One in three adult Americans started a blog between 2005 and 2012. That’s a statistic I just made up, but it sounds kinda believable, doesn’t it? Remember how big blogs were?

I used to run a blog. Some of those blog articles are still available at javagraphics.blogspot.com. (I don’t mean to brag, but some of the screenshots even still work! The applets won’t, though.) Those articles were write-ups to the accompanying codebase hosted at a (now defunct) java.net repo.

Most of that codebase was migrated to this (the Pumpernickel) project, and instead of offering dozens of stand-alone demos I’m trying to consolidate everything into one demo app that showcases all the best bits.

For a year or two I tried to organize this project into sub-projects with separate Maven artifact IDs, but as of 2019 I’m migrating back to one flat project structure.
