I'm trying to compile the JCurses package (https://github.com/kba/jcurses), but its Makefile (created by ./configure) still uses the obsolete javah mechanism for generating C headers for its Native...

Thank you.

I've been using Oracle's documentation and tutorials to learn the language. Strangely, their tutorials only cover Java 8, while their current Java is 17. (!) This means that what little there is in...

Yes. I have come to that conclusion, and will put my {s on their own lines in future.

And now the "Solved:" widget has disappeared from all levels of my threads. :-(
Hah! But...

I looked at that, and as far as I can see it's inside my class. If there's a brace out of place, I can't see it.

I'm a retired IBM mainframe programmer and systems programmer. I started in 1974, writing FORTRAN, COBOL and Assembler programs. In the mid 1980s I progressed to systems programming (systems...

Good. That's what I wanted to know.
(How do I mark this thread "solved"?

My primary concern is how to select the appropriate scope for the method; it should be usable anywhere in the application.


Its signatures are


bool abbrev(String fullWord, int minLength,...

Okay. I interpreted "any class" as any non-specific class. :-)


As usual, if the strings passed start with '-' they will be evaluated as options for the program; if not, as filepaths. How the...

"any class"? I'm not sure that I understand your question. The methods will be used for processing Strings. E.g.


public static int words(String phrase) {...}

or

I'm just starting out to learn Java programming, starting with this basic piece of code:
