Lorem Ipsum for Java

Lorem Ipsum for Java is a simple, light-weight Java class (100% pure Java) for generating lorem ipsum placehoder text.

Lorem ipsum text can be used in applications to create sample data for design evaluation, test cases or performance tests.

Why not use static text like "dummydummydummy"?

Lorem ipsum text is similar to the natural typeface (of English) and thus more likely to uncover flaws in the design of desktop/web applications or web sites regarding word wrapping etc.

Usage

Usage of Lorem Ipsum for Java is pretty simple:

package mypackage;

import de.svenjacobs.loremipsum.LoremIpsum;

public class MyClass {
  private LoremIpsum loremIpsum;
  
  public MyClass() {
    this.loremIpsum = new LoremIpsum();
  }

  public MyData createDummyData() {
    MyData data = new MyData();
    
    // returns 50 words of lorem ipsum text
    data.setText( loremIpsum.getWords( 50 ) );

    // returns 150 words of lorem ipsum text starting with
    // the third word (text will not begin with "Lorem ipsum")
    data.setAnotherText( loremIpsum.getWords( 150, 2 ) );
    
    // returns two paragraphs of lorem ipsum
    data.setYetAnotherText( loremIpsum.getParagraphs( 2 ) );
    
    return data;
  }
}
