StatCVS joining the family!

Hi All,

StatCVS will soon join the family of projects. Jason Kealey (of StatSVN fame) and myself have been added as project admin.

Our first goal will be to revitalize the community, go through the patches that have been suggested and consolidate the features between StatSVN and StatCVS.

We've already put a Beta Site together. The jar is also available statcvs.jar.

Amongst the significant changes are:

1. The RepoMap and LOCChurn reports have been added to StatCVS.
   
2. An XML export (-xml) is now available
   
3. Any comment starting with http://, https:// or simply www. will create an auto-link in the commit report.
   
4. A few patches applied
   
5. Eclipse cleanUp and new web site with the usual suspects of QA tools (and QALab of course!)
   

Well, what are you waiting for? If you use CVS, have a look!

Thanks

Benoit

ObjectLabKit 1.1.0 released - Date Calculators for Business and Finance

We are pleased to announce the ObjectLab Kit 1.1.0 release!

http://objectlabkit.sourceforge.net

---

Changes in this version include:

New Features:

• Changed JODA dependency to 1.5
  
• Feature Requests item #1832345, make the Tenor Serializable Fixes 1832345. Thanks to Kieron Wilkinson.
  
• Added 2 methods on factory to check if a calendar is registered.
  
• Added method calculateTenorDates with/without a spot lag to enable calculation of a series of Tenor dates without changing the current business date in the calculator.
  
• Added method moveByTenor without a spot lag to allow tenor calculation based on the CURRENT date and not the spot lag.
  
• Valid Range via HolidayCalendar. HolidayCalendar should replace the simple Set of dates for holidays. A HolidayCalendar MAY contain an early and late boundary, if the calculation break a boundary, an exception is thrown, if there are no boundaries no exception would be thrown. This would ensure that calculations are not going outside the valid set of holidays. Fixes 1575498. Thanks to Paul Hill.
  
• Added a standard Tenor 2D. Fixes 1601540. Thanks to Anthony Whitford.
  
• Added new handler type ForwardUnlessNegative: a handler that acts like a Forward handler if the increment is positive otherwise acts like a Backward handler.
  

Fixed bugs:

• fix NPE issue if the calendar name is null.
  
• Deprecated ACT/UST and END/365 Day Count Conventions, which weren't very common. Also added a link to some documentation.
  
• The calculation of Spot date should take into account holidays BETWEEN now and spot (aka moveByBusinessDay). Thanks to David Owen.
  
• Spelling mistake in the code, sorry for breaking your code with this release. Fixes 1601542. Thanks to Anthony Whitford.

FlatPack 3.1.1. is released.

It is a simple bug fix release:

• Fixed bug in delimited parse when using Reader for data and map. Parameters were being reversed in the code.


• [1811210] When parsing multi-line delimited files, blank lines inside the elements were being removed from the result of the parse. Blank lines inside a delimited element were also causing a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

FlatPack 3.1.0 released with Mule Contribution

Second post in 3 days... wow! Things are happening!

We are pleased to announce release 3.1.0 of FlatPack for Java 1.4+.

FlatPack is the new name for PZFileReader as the project has outgrown the initial scope of reading files...

Open Source flat file parser (CSV, Fixed Length, Custom) using XML to configure formats.

http://flatpack.sourceforge.net

This is an important release with a new name and package structure. Users of previous version should find it easy to migrate as most classes have kept their original name.

A major development is the experimental release of writers for exporting DataSets. We would like to thank Dirk and Holger from the Mule Project for their kind contribution to FlatPack. We're looking forward to the result of using FlatPack in Mule, a great Open Source ESB.

This release also adds a few convenience methods on a DataSet and the Parser classes, fixes a couple of bugs.
More on changes at: http://flatpack.sf.net/changes-report.html.

FlatPack is released under the business friendly Apache License v2.0.

The library is small, lightweight and does not force you to adopt a framework.

The implementation is useful to any business that deal with flat files. Not only can it parse very quickly some CSV or any-user defined delimiter, this library can parse FIXED LENGTH files.

The library allow you to define an XML mapping (or in a database) of the format of your file. Once this is done, the parsed data can be accessed via a simple name lookup mechanism.

It is our aim to publish at some point some well know file formats for your immediate use. Please contribute if you have some standard files...

It is available for download via SourceForge or the Maven Central Repository (both Maven 1 and Maven 2). The homepage has some very quick examples.

Maven Repositories:
M1: http://objectlabkit.sf.net/m1-repo
M2: http://objectlabkit.sf.net/m2-repo

ObjectLab is not new to the open-source community having used numerous OS projects, It has recently launched the ObjectLab Kit family, including:
- QALab (http://qalab.sourceforge.net), a tool that keeps track over-time of the static analysis results from FindBugs, Checkstyle, PMD, Cobertura etc.
- DateCalculators (http://objectlabkit.sourceforge.net), a set of generic lightweight and thread-safe Date calculators for Business and Finance.
- JTreeMap, (http://jtreemap.sourceforge.net), probably the only Java Open Source implementation of treemap/heatmaps, available as a Swing or SWT component.
- StatSVN, (http://www.statsvn.org), statistics for your Subversion repo.

We would like to thanks our friends and colleagues for their help, reviews and suggestions.

Sorry for the long post...

Feel free to pass on to people who may be interested.

Enjoy!!

Paul Zepernick and Benoit Xhenseval
