Utilities Project

This module represents 12 years of code snippets, and a lot of it is junk. For example, methods in SpringUtils_ class which are made obsolete by subsequent additions to java's own String class.

I still keep it around anyway, because some of it is handy or familiar.

Any other user might come across it 7 years after I wrote this or that snippet and correctly observe how much of it is either junk, or found in a better form elsewhere, including some that has been incorporated in a much better fashion in the JDK itself, such as file handling APIs.
