History

My understanding from the history is finally what you can use resp. have Now. You can now use the HexLib.

To find out about the features of HexLib, please review the Components.

Why HexLib was build?

When I was implementing for one program I needed the display of collected data. Since the data is binary formated I was interested in some kind of HexEditor or more precisely in a HexViewer.
Unfortunately this did not exist in Java with the functions I was looking for.
I found some base on which I build HexLib and got finally as well almost rid of the base.
Finally I have already implemented much more then I was looking for and what I have expected.
