A real world example using a scientific experiment where certain routines are performed on different types of tissue. The class contains two functions by default to get the tissue or routine separately. In a later version we have then adapted it using a new class to add a function that gets both. Th...

Lets assume that in your current codebase, there exists MyLogger interface like so: interface MyLogger { void logMessage(String message); void logException(Throwable exception); } Lets say that you've created a few concrete implementations of these, such as MyFileLogger and MyConsol...

A great existing example of the Adapter pattern can be found in the SWT MouseListener and MouseAdapter classes. The MouseListener interface looks as follows: public interface MouseListener extends SWTEventListener { public void mouseDoubleClick(MouseEvent e); public void mouseDown(MouseE...
