Package util Description

Helper classes that come in handy from time to time.

This package contains several helper classes that come in handy from time to time. The package is a collection of classes that couldn't be sensibly attached to any other package, because of their generic nature. The classes vary from debugging aids (Debug) over helpers for listener management (HelpableListener, ListenerHelper and SerializableListener) to classes and interfaces that help with comparators (SerializableComparator and NaturalComparator).
