Months Between

Prototype code used to compute fractional month difference between two dates.

Tests

    String[][] tests = {
        {"2024-04-14", "2024-04-04"}, //<1 month (10 days or 0.333)
        {"2024-04-04", "2024-04-14"}, //<1 month (10 days or 0.333)

Netbeans Config

I've been using Netbeans for longer than I care to admit. I use it almost everyday for Java and JavaScript development. Here are some small tweaks I use to make Netbeans a little easier to use.

Set Main Project

When I first started using Netbeans, there was an option to select a project as a "Main Project". Visually, the main project is highlighted in bold in the Projects tree. When you have a main project selected, the build buttons in the main toolbar will apply to the selected project.

Newer versions of Netbeans don't have a "Set as Main Project" menu option when you right click on a project in the Projects tree.

To re-enable this feature, simply go to Run -> Set Main Project -> Select a project

Nashorn

Nashorn used to be bundled with Java between versions 8 to 14. It no longer ships starting with Java 15 and needs to be downloaded as a seperate JAR via OpenJDK.

Migrating to the OpenJDK version of Nashorn is pretty straightforward.

JConsole is a free program that is part of the JDK distribution that you can use to debug performance issues. It is especailly useful with the topthreads plugin.

To launch JConsole with topthreads:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin\jconsole.exe" -pluginpath C:\temp\topthreads-1.1.jar

Line2Polygon

Creates a polygon around a linestring. Provides an option to vary the thickness. Usage:

    var path = [ [0, 0], [25, 25], [13, 13] ];
    var width = 5; //or an array for each line segment [ 5, 10, 15 ]
    var poly = line2Polygon(path, width);
