Perhaps i am blind, but i don't see any maven, ant or gradle build files. You really need to add these for your code base to be accessible to others wanted to uptake it. (Hopefully maven). --dave On 09/29/2015 06:55 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: Norman, Hello and welcome to Apache Commons. It's

Also the source code is not in the proper package structure. The class's have packages, but are just dumped directly in src. There is javadoc, but just dumped in the main folder. I just dump that, and having support building the javadoc from build tools. Setting the structure of the project up

Norman, Hello and welcome to Apache Commons. It's not clear to me why Naomi is better than regular expressions. Pointing to Javadocs is not the best way to get traction. Your project would be better served by having some documentation on your front page with an example driven tutorial. Is

Added a pull request with a first pass at moving all of this to a maven build. builds and generates javadoc fine. Might need some more fine tuning. On 09/29/2015 08:27 PM, Dave Brosius wrote: Also the source code is not in the proper package structure. The class's have packages, but are just

[math] Support for discrete mathematics & number theory

2015-09-29 Thread Luca Vercelli
Dear developers, I see some lacks in commons-math, w.r.t. number theory. In particular, the "primes" package is quite poor, as it only supports "int" primes, where some BigInteger can be required when searching for large primes. Second fact, algebra applications will prefer Rings and such instead

My colleague Jeff Rothenberg and I, retirees, have developed an alternative to using regular expressions for searching for (and optionally replacing) patterns in text. We believe it is generally useful to Java programmers and would like to contribute it to Apache Commons, where we will continue to
