Java Project Library

The Java-Project-Library is a library for making small Coding-Projects of any kind really * fast*.

Introduction

• PUI-Engine
  • PUIFrame(based on JFrame): simplifies creation of UI and manages all Elements
  • Custom UI-Elements (e.g. RotaryControl: Digital Knob the user can rotate)
  • Gives pixel-control over Window
  • Automatic scaling
• IO
  • PFile & PFolder: Advanced controls over Files & Folders
  • PDataStorage(similar to json): store/read basic attributes from/to files
  • PCustomProtocol: Manage communication between different programs/devices
  • PSerialConnection: Connect to an Arduino, RaspberryPi or other USB-Devices and communicate with them
• Utility
  • PSystem: Provides System-Information and functions (e.g. find out the OS-Type)
  • PConsole: Run a given Command in the Terminal/Console (Linux/Windows) and get the response

Why should I use this Library?

• Graphics:

This library solves the problem for people, who are not experienced enough with Graphics in Java or who don't want to invest too much time in creating a simple window with buttons, dialogues, user-inputs & graphics.

This Library is beginner-friendly and allows programmers to create a new Window and add a Button to it with two lines and still have the possibility to draw other stuff with PUICanvas on the frame on a pixel-level

• IO-Functionality:

This library solves the problem of writing a lot of code to read and write files. It also provides functions to get the content in a specific format.

With PFile you can get a File as a One big String,Array of Lines or Array of Words/Paragraphs

You can also store basic attributes to files and later read them (similar to json) by using PDataStorage.

USB-Communication with an Arduino, RaspberryPi, etc. is simplified in PSerialConnection. Developers can simply connect() and disConnect() a device and attach a PSerialListener to read Data from the USB-Attached Device. Use write(data) to send data to the device.

Projects built with JPL:

• Ryolith (AudioController)
• Presentation Karaoke
• ButtonBox V2

Usage

This library can be loaded using JitPack

    <groupId>com.github.paulsenik</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-project-library</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.6</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Alternatively using jar

1. Download / Build the latest Version
2. Include the library into your project
   • IntelliJ: File > Project Structure > Libraries > +
   • Eclipse: Right-Click Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Add External JARs
3. Start with your project

Troubleshooting

• Problems when using PSerialConnection on Linux:
  • Either run your program as root
  • Or add your User to some of those 4 Groups: uucp dialout lock tty (Some might not exist on your distro)
  • Still got problems or have issues adding yourself to the Groups:
    Look up the * * jSerialComm-Troubleshooting-Wiki **
