Cut Off

"A Java annotation library to increase productivity for fun and profit"

Cut Off is a simple way of making sure deadlines are met.

Using a simple annotation in the form of @Deadline(yyyy-mm-dd), any code that passes its deadline date causes compilation errors - alerting you immediately through your IDE.

Installation

Note: This guide is for installation on Eclipse - Other IDE's will be available shortly.

• Add the latest Cut Off .jar file to your build path

  • Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Add External JARs

• Add .jar to Factory Path in Annotation Processing Menu

  • Project > Properties > Java Compiler > Annotations Processing
    
  • Enable project specific settings
  • Enable annotation processing and Enable processing in editor
  • In Factory Path menu - Add Cut Off .jar file
  • Click Apply
  • Exit preferences - setup should be complete

Example

import co.uk.edgeorgedev.cutoff.Deadline;

// Method with deadline

@Deadline(2014-12-25)
public void helloWorld(){
     System.out.println("Cut Off is rad!");
}
