Spring Security is a comprehensive authentication and authorization library for Spring-based applications, supporting both Servlet (MVC) and Reactive (WebFlux) stacks. In production, it intercepts HTTP requests via a configurable filter chain (SecurityFilterChain for servlet, WebFilterChain for reactive) to enforce authentication, session management, CSRF protection, security headers, CORS, and access control. It provides a pluggable architecture with core abstractions (AuthenticationManager, AuthorizationManager, SecurityContextHolderStrategy) and protocol-specific modules for OAuth2/OIDC, SAML2, LDAP, CAS, WebAuthn, Kerberos, and JWT. The library is configured via annotations (@EnableWebSecurity, @EnableMethodSecurity), a Kotlin DSL, or XML namespace, and integrates deeply with Spring's configuration and dependency injection. The architecture is modular: the 'core' module defines foundational interfaces (Authentication, GrantedAuthority, SecurityContext), 'web' implements servlet and reactive security filters, 'config' provides annotation-driven and XML configuration support, and protocol modules (oauth2, saml2, ldap, webauthn, cas) handle specific authentication/authorization flows. Key entry points include the HttpSecurity/ServerHttpSecurity builders, SecurityFilterChain, and method-security annotations (@PreAuthorize, @Secured). External dependencies include Spring Framework, Jackson (for serialization), Project Reactor (for reactive support), OpenSAML, and LDAP libraries. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: extensive use of strategy, composite, and builder patterns; clean separation of servlet and reactive APIs; and a consistent Jackson mixin pattern for serialization of security objects.
This repository is an educational resource that accompanies the 'Understanding Gradle' video series. It contains a series of self-contained example Gradle projects, each demonstrating a specific concept of the Gradle build tool, from basic settings files to advanced topics like artifact transforms and Java module path. The examples are structured as independent projects with their own build configurations, often using composite builds and convention plugins to illustrate best practices. The code is well-crafted, following modern Gradle patterns (Kotlin DSL, lazy configuration, variant-aware dependency management). While not a production application, the repository serves as a reference implementation for Gradle best practices and provides reusable patterns for structuring real-world Gradle projects. The architecture is a collection of example projects, each with a my-build-logic directory containing reusable convention plugins, and a my-project directory demonstrating the concept. The examples cover the full spectrum of Gradle functionality, from settings files to CI integration.
This repository is a GitHub template for bootstrapping Kotlin Android projects with a modern, opinionated build setup. It provides a multi-module structure (app, library-android, library-kotlin, library-compose) with pre-configured static analysis via detekt, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, and publishing to Maven Central. The codebase demonstrates best practices for Gradle Kotlin DSL, version catalogs, and precompiled script plugins. The sample modules include a simple factorial calculator to illustrate cross-module dependencies and testing patterns (unit, instrumentation, and Compose UI tests). While the template is not a production application itself, it serves as a solid foundation for new Android projects, emphasizing code quality and automation from the start.
ShapeShift is a Kotlin/Java library for intelligent object mapping and conversion between objects. It provides multiple ways to define mappings including annotations, a Kotlin DSL, and a Java Builder API. The library features automatic mapping, custom type transformers, conditional mapping, decorators for post-processing, and seamless Spring Framework integration. Its architecture cleanly separates mapping definition resolution from the core mapping engine, making it extensible and flexible.
Dependency Guard is a Gradle plugin that monitors and protects against unintentional dependency changes in JVM-based projects. It creates baseline files of project dependencies for specified configurations and compares current dependencies against these baselines during build execution. When unintended changes are detected, it fails the build and provides a clear diff of what changed, allowing developers to either re-baseline for intentional changes or investigate problematic dependency drift. The plugin supports both simple list format and hierarchical tree format for dependency reporting, with the list format being recommended for CI usage due to less noise. It integrates with Gradle's lifecycle by automatically attaching to the 'check' task and provides clear commands for creating and updating baselines.
This is the Anko library for Android, a Kotlin DSL that provides type-safe builders for UI layouts, SQLite queries, intents, dialogs, async tasks, logging, and other common Android patterns. The repository additionally contains a code generator (using ASM to parse Android SDK classes) that produces extension functions for views, properties, listeners, and services per API level, and an IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin that includes XML-to-Anko conversion, live preview of DSL layouts, and refactoring intentions. The library is officially deprecated (see GOODBYE.md) in favor of Jetpack Compose, Splitties, and Android KTX; the last commit was in 2019. The codebase is well-structured overall, but the generated files are massive and repetitive, and the library has not kept pace with the Android ecosystem (e.g., still uses android.support libraries, GlobalScope for coroutines, and targets SDK versions up to 28). Reusable components include the static commons (Logging, Async, Intents, AlertBuilder), the code generator's class tree and rendering pipeline, and the SQLite query builders.
