Research direction

Start by reviewing the mapbox/cheap-ruler and mapbox/cheap-ruler-cpp implementations linked in the issue, then inspect the mapbox-java repository structure to identify where a Java port would belong. The issue does not name files, tests, APIs, or acceptance criteria, so the completed scope and validation approach need to be clarified before implementation.
