These are various shared utility modules which are used on several places in VPRO artifacts.

highlights

• vpro-shared-util: Classes in nl.vpro.util. Related to collections and other low level java utilities.

• vpro-shared-logging: Utilities related to logging. Mostly related to SLF4j. Also contains a more simple framework 'SimpleLogger', which is easy to implement on the fly

• vpro-shared-elasticsearch-client: Related to elasticsearch low level client

• vpro-shared-elasticsearch-high-level-client: Related to elasticsearch high level client

• vpro-shared-swagger3: Some utilities related to swagger frontend and openapi. Depends on webjars to provide the actuall swagger frontend too

Builds

SNAPSHOT builds can be found at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/nl/vpro/shared/

Release builds will be provided via maven central.

TODO

• Some of these modules are old, contain very little usefull or are very specific for VPRO. We should remove them.

• A bit more of documentation here and there would be welcome. Though we provide this mainly to be able to provide other artifact too, which themselves depend on this

• Some, or perhaps even most or all, of the submodules should be migrated to git repositories of their own. They don’t change often. This will make the builds faster and leaner.
