This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote EJB and JMS, including all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the EJB and JMS BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up with different versions on classes on the class path).

/**
 * A comparator, with additional methods to support common operations. This is an "enriched" version
 * of {@code Comparator} for pre-Java-8 users, in the same sense that {@link FluentIterable} is an
 * enriched {@link Iterable} for pre-Java-8 users.
 *
 * 
Three types of methods

 *
 * Like other fluent types, there are three types of methods present: methods for acquiring,
 * chaining, and using.
 *
 * 
Acquiring

 *
 * 
The common ways to get an instance of {@code Ordering} are:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • Subclass it and implement {@link #compare} instead of implementing {@link Comparator}
 *       directly
 *   
  • Pass a pre-existing {@link Comparator} instance to {@link #from(Comparator)}
 *   
  • Use the natural ordering, {@link Ordering#natural}
 * 

 *
 * 
Chaining

 *
 * 
Then you can use the chaining methods to get an altered version of that {@code
 * Ordering}, including:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • {@link #reverse}
 *   
  • {@link #compound(Comparator)}
 *   
  • {@link #onResultOf(Function)}
 *   
  • {@link #nullsFirst} / {@link #nullsLast}
 * 

 *
 * 
Using

 *
 * 
Finally, use the resulting {@code Ordering} anywhere a {@link Comparator} is required, or use
 * any of its special operations, such as:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • {@link #immutableSortedCopy}
 *   
  • {@link #isOrdered} / {@link #isStrictlyOrdered}
 *   
  • {@link #min} / {@link #max}
 * 

 *
 * 
Understanding complex orderings

 *
 * 
Complex chained orderings like the following example can be challenging to understand.
 *
 * 
{@code
 * Ordering ordering =
 *     Ordering.natural()
 *         .nullsFirst()
 *         .onResultOf(getBarFunction)
 *         .nullsLast();
 * }

 *
 * Note that each chaining method returns a new ordering instance which is backed by the previous
 * instance, but has the chance to act on values before handing off to that backing instance.
 * As a result, it usually helps to read chained ordering expressions backwards. For example,
 * when {@code compare} is called on the above ordering:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  1. First, if only one {@code Foo} is null, that null value is treated as greater
 *   
  2. Next, non-null {@code Foo} values are passed to {@code getBarFunction} (we will be
 *       comparing {@code Bar} values from now on)
 *   
  3. Next, if only one {@code Bar} is null, that null value is treated as lesser
 *   
  4. Finally, natural ordering is used (i.e. the result of {@code Bar.compareTo(Bar)} is
 *       returned)
 * 

 *
 * 
Alas, {@link #reverse} is a little different. As you read backwards through a chain and
 * encounter a call to {@code reverse}, continue working backwards until a result is determined, and
 * then reverse that result.
 *
 * 
Additional notes

 *
 * 
Except as noted, the orderings returned by the factory methods of this class are serializable
 * if and only if the provided instances that back them are. For example, if {@code ordering} and
 * {@code function} can themselves be serialized, then {@code ordering.onResultOf(function)} can as
 * well.
 *
 * 
For Java 8 users

 *
 * 
If you are using Java 8, this class is now obsolete. Most of its functionality is now provided
 * by {@link java.util.stream.Stream Stream} and by {@link Comparator} itself, and the rest can now
 * be found as static methods in our new {@link Comparators} class. See each method below for
 * further instructions. Whenever possible, you should change any references of type {@code
 * Ordering} to be of type {@code Comparator} instead. However, at this time we have no plan to
 * deprecate this class.
 *
 * 
Many replacements involve adopting {@code Stream}, and these changes can sometimes make your
 * code verbose. Whenever following this advice, you should check whether {@code Stream} could be
 * adopted more comprehensively in your code; the end result may be quite a bit simpler.
 *
