KludJe is a Java API that aims to exploit features introduced in Java 8 to reduce verbosity and enhance expressiveness.

Use it to:

• Implement less verbose equals, hashCode, and toString in your classes
• Avoid try/catch blocks in lambdas/method references with a generalized exception throwing/catching mechanism
• Add this capability for any functional interface using the Kludje annotation processor
• Avoid nested null checks in getter chains with a one-line call
• Make any resource AutoCloseable

See kludje.uk for binary downloads and usage information.
