Lazy-Coder-Helper

Lazy Coder Helper

• Lazy Coder Helper
  • Usage
  • Typical use examples
    • Generation of a stub
    • Printing down all the methods

** NOTE : This feature is still pretty experimental so regular crashes are to be expected**

The lazy coder helper (LCH, not to be confunded with the LHC) is a small command line tool that speeds up your .scn file creation by letting you :

• See all the methods a class contains (public, private, declared or inherited)
• Generate stub objects declaration for a given class. (That way you only have to customise the data in order to be up and running).

Usage

You can get access to this help section from the program itself by typing 'help'.

~~~~~~~~~

• help
  shows this help text

• load "jar_location"
  if jar_location points to a jar file : loads the jar pointed by jar_location in the class loader
  if jar_location points to a directory: loads all the jars contained in the jar_location into the class loader

• show stub "class_name"
  shows a declaration skeleton for an object of the type class_name.
  If the structure is recursive, then the recursion will stop after 1 level.

• show methods "class_name"
  shows the signature of all the method declared in class_name (and its parents)

~~~~~~~~~~

Typical use examples

As you'll see in the examples, you should always begin with one or more 'load' operations in order to make your classes available to the LCH

Generation of a stub

::bash
java -jar Lazy-coder-help-standalone.jar

} as "xgi.ut.dsl.dummy.BrolA" ;

Printing down all the methods

I actually don't know if this feature is really useful because it's something your IDE can already do for you. But, it was easy to implement and I told myself... well who knows, one day or the orther it could maybe be handy... so I left it there (but you're not forced to use it)

::bash
java -jar Lazy-coder-help-standalone.jar
