Eobard

A Java desktop application for reversing any text quickly and elegantly. Built with elementaryOS.

Changelog:

• Version 3.0.2:

  • Made error message make more sense

• Version 3.0.1:

  • Simplified input validation code

• Version 3.0:

  • Changed GUI to use "text" terminology rather than "string".
  • Completely refactored input validation to check for input comprised entirely of whitespace.
  • Added more documentation
  • Fancified input dialog boxes
  • Branded as actual application instead of practice code
  • Added TODO section
  • Added new screenshots

• Version 2.0 - The much unexpected release! Eobard is now completely refactored and documented. This version eliminates the need for the "ArrayList" library, and now the only non-default library used is JOptionPane. I also fixed the readme a bit.

• Version 1.0 - Initial Release

TO-DO:

• Polish input dialog boxes even more.
• Handle exits (close / cancel operations) better.
• Add custom icons and simpler install/launch procedures.

Screenshots:

To run:

1. Download .jar
2. Open shell
3. cd to clone directory
4. Type "java -jar Eobard.jar"
5. Profit?

Below is a much simpler way to do this yourself using the StringBuilder class. Enjoy:

================================================

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class ReverseAString {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		String stringToReverse = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "String To Reverse:");

		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new StringBuilder(stringToReverse).reverse().toString());

	}

}
