Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Action<E>	Represents an abstract action, which is an executable piece of functionality that takes an argument.
AggregateBuilder<E>	Interface for aggregate builders which allows for an iterative approach to evaluating aggregates.
Func<I,O>	Represents an abstract function, which is an executable piece of functionality that has an input and an output.
HasName	Represents anything with a (String based) name.
Predicate<E>	A predicate is a special type of Func, used typically for inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Ref<E>	Represents an abstract reference.
Resource	Represents a resource from which we can read and write bytes

Class Summary

Class	Description

LazyRef<E>	Represents a lazy loaded reference.
LegacyDeserializationObjectInputStream	A specialized ObjectInputStream for MetaModel which can be used or extended if it is needed to deserialize legacy MetaModel objects.
MutableRef<E>	Represents a mutable reference to any object
NumberComparator	Comparator that can compare numbers of various kinds (short, integer, float, double etc)
ObjectComparator	General purpose comparator to use for objects of various kinds.
ResourceUtils	Static utility methods for handling Resources.
SerializableRef<E>	A serializable reference to an object which may or may not be serializable.
SharedExecutorService	A shared ExecutorService for use on ad-hoc tasks that can be optimized by running operations in parallel.
SimpleTableDef	Represents a table definition to be used in scenarios where a DataContext is unable to detect/discover the table structure and needs some basic input around expected table structures.
SimpleTableDefParser
TimeComparator	Compares dates of various formats.
ToStringComparator	Uses the toString method for comparison of objects
TruePredicate<E>	A predicate that is always true
UncheckedFunc<I,O>
