• Some caches with expiring/timeout but unlike Guava or EHCache, the cache can be refreshed in its entirety in one go; this is suitable only if you can hold the entire dataset in memory; on the plus side, you would hit the generator/DB only once.

• ConsoleMenu a way to create user menus for a console/command line application.

Enjoy!

Benoit & the team.
