#18554 — Snippets

Is there a good place where you can get lots of "Snippets" of Java code (like for Eclipse)?

I'm looking for snippets like for "starting a thread."

     Don't know about the general matter, but for the specific
question see

Google is a good place to search for snippets. For your example, 
<http://lmgtfy.com/?q=starting+a+thread+in+java>

Though this is a terrible way to program, because people often don't 
fully understand what the snippet does (especially if this is the only 
way they program).  Often times there are multiple ways to approach 
something, each with different trade-offs and implications. Simply 
copying the first snippet that seems to work will eventually lead to 
disaster.  This is true with any language, not just Java.

I suggest instead learning how to actually program in Java.  Read 
tutorials, buy books, ask smart questions.

If you're interested in threading specifically, a must-read is "Java 
Concurrency in Practice"

Yes, buying from that link gives me money, but you can search for the 
book on Google if you feel they deserve the money more than I do :-)

They have plenty of "snippets" in that book too, BTW.

Anyway, good luck,
Daniel.

There _were_ they O'Reilly Cookbooks for Java, but those are pretty
old and rather dated now.

"like for Eclipse"? What do you mean?

Just about every article on IBM's Developerworks for Java site.

If you look up the name of a component or collection in the Java
glossary http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html, there will be a self
contained compilable example to demonstrate the basic features of its
use.

You can look up things like JDBC to see how to open various databases,
SQL to do the basic operations, enum for how to do things  with
enums...
