Class Summary

AddressableStack	AddressableStack extends java.util.Stack (a class that represents a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack of objects) to allow peeking and popping from the depths of the stack rather than merely the top element.
Base64Converter	A utility class that converts a long to an base 64 number (returned as a String).
BrowserLauncher	BrowserLauncher is a class that provides one static method, openURL, which opens the default web browser for the current user of the system to the given URL.
Bundlizer	A class that handles String replacement using ResourceBundles.
Cache	Extends Hashtable as an Object cache.
ChangeMerger	This class does the housekeeping for merging changes and also makes sure that the whole change process is threadsafe by encapsulating all necessary variables.
ClockImpl	Implements Clock, providing some general utility methods relating to dates and times, such as a date/time stamp as a String.
DirectoryList	An extension of File that populates a provided Stack with a list of files matching a file filter, recursively processing subdirectories.
DocumentOutputStream	Extends OutputStream to write the stream to a Swing text Document.
DocumentWordTokenizer	This class tokenizes a Swing Document model, also providing a word and sentence count.
ExtensionFileFilter	ExtensionFileFilter extends FileFilter to allow a customizable set of file extensions through the filter.
ExternalProcess	A utility class allowing UNIX process I/O.
FileExporter	Extends Thread to export a String or Document to a file.
FileZipper	A utility that extends Thread to zip a file.
FrequencyModel	Extends the default model for ComboBoxes, DefaultComboBoxModel, using a Vector treated as a Set (ie., checking uniqueness of entries upon adding) as the data store to insure that items in the list are unique.
HashCache	Creates a hash-keyed cache sensitive to access frequency by combining a FrequencyModel (for frequency-sorting the keys) with a Hashtable.
ID64Generator	A singleton class that generates a unique ID based on the millisecond timestamp value returned by System.currentTimeMillis() minus the offset from the Java epoch (midnight of January 1st, 1970) to the millenium, converted to a base 64 value.
IDFactory	IDFactory produces a unique String identifier (ID) upon demand.
LexiconImpl	Provides access to the WordNet 2.0 Dictionary.
LinkRef	Encapsulates a web link, suitable for use in lists, etc.
Localizer	Provides localization methods for processing messages.
MessageHandlerImpl	Implements MessageHandler, a messaging API.
Messages	A ListResourceBundle containing messages used in exceptions; localization = en_US.
Messages_de	A ListResourceBundle containing messages used in exceptions; localization = de.
MessageWriterAppender	MessageWriterAppender appends log events to a MessageWriter.
MIME	Defines a set of enumerated type objects used to indicate MIME types.
Msg	A ResourceBundle containing content used in messages; localization = en_US.
Queue	Queue extends java.util.Stack (a class that represents a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack of objects) to allow to rotate its contents up (top element --> bottom) or down (bottom element --> top).
Release	Ceryle's version information used to be stored in the Constants file (if that says anything about constancy).
ResourceOpener	ResourceOpener extends java.lang.Thread to open files or documents via file or URL connections, provided a File, a URL object, or a command line with parameters.
Rsrc	A ResourceBundle containing localizable messages; localization = en_US.
SetModel	Extends the DefaultComboBoxModel modified to treat its store as a Set (ie., checking uniqueness of entries upon adding) insuring that items in the list are unique.
SimpleFileExporter	Extends Thread to export a String or Document to a file.
SortableObject	Extends Object to wrap Object in a sortable container.
StackSet	StackSet extends java.util.Stack (a class that represents a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack of objects, but in this case also includes methods making it addressable at any level) to implement the java.util.Set interface, guaranteeing that all elements in the Stack are unique.
Sucker	Implements a reader to suck up a bunch of web pages.
TextUtil	Provides some general text search and replace utilities.
Timer	A timer to keep track of elapsed time for an application.
Utilities	Provides some general utilities for processing files, URLs, math, characters, strings, etc.
VectorMap	VectorMap basically extends Vector to include a Map interface, as a Hashtable-like object with ordered elements (and by extension, a predictable, ordered iteration).

Exception Summary

ParseException	An class for exceptions thrown during parsing.
ProcessException	An general class for exceptions thrown during processing.
