About

What is it?
Luky Library is a set of convience functions for Java.
It has been developed on Linux and has been tested thoroughly on both linux and os x enviroments. The general idea is that generic code is collected and maintained here to the benefit of a multitude of programs.

Contents
The Library is broken down in the following main classes:

  • Luky
    • Root class, holds the version ticker that can be used to figure out which version of the library you are using
  • Luky.serverSimple
    • TCP/IP text based server
    • Tested with 200 clients
    • Error handling, recovery, watchdogs, event driven
  • Luky.crypt
    • Lightweight Blowfish implementation
    • Easy and secure
  • Luky.dialogs
    • Lightweight Dialog handling
  • Luky.events
    • Simple and Advanced EventHanlers
  • Luky.linux
    • System Tool (only for linux)
  • Luky.util
    • Log class to screen, database, file
    • Ini file management
    • Semaphores and Queues
    • Ring buffers and persistant storage
    • Sort Vector
    • System Tool (only for linux)
    • XPATH token trees
    • Toolbox (swiss army knife)
  • Luky.snmp

Wrapped Libraries
In addition to the luky classes, some other libraries are "wrapped" in the deployment, which are used "under water" but can also be called directly:

  • Westhawk SNMP Stack
    • Excellent SNMP stack, wrapped by the AdvancedSNMPManager
  • Piccolo
    • A Sax Parser
  • Interbase
    • Database convience wrappers, used e.g. by the Log class
  • Substance
    • Beautifull applet GUI design
