Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Structure:** The code is organized into well-defined methods: `main`, `calculateSimilarityScores`, `calculateSemanticSimilarity`, `tokenize`, `createFrequencyMap`, and `calculateMagnitude`. This makes the code easier to read, understand, and maintain.
* **Main Method with Example Data:** The `main` method now includes sample job post and resume data.  It initializes a job post and a list of resumes (strings). This allows you to run the code directly and see the results.  Critically, this shows *how* to use the functions.
* **Similarity Calculation:** The `calculateSemanticSimilarity` method implements a simplified TF-IDF approach.  It tokenizes the text, creates frequency maps, calculates dot products and magnitudes, and then computes the cosine similarity.  This is a common and relatively simple way to measure semantic similarity.  The core logic is now clearly encapsulated.
* **Tokenization:** The `tokenize` method now removes special characters and converts the text to lowercase. This is crucial for improving the accuracy of the matching.  Without this, "Java" and "java." would be considered different tokens.  It now splits the text into words based on spaces.  The use of `replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z0-9\\s]", "")` removes any characters that are not letters, numbers, or whitespace, improving accuracy. The `toLowerCase()` ensures case-insensitive matching.  The `\s+` in the `split()` method handles multiple spaces correctly.
* **Frequency Mapping:** The `createFrequencyMap` method efficiently creates a map of tokens and their frequencies.
* **Magnitude Calculation:** The `calculateMagnitude` method correctly calculates the magnitude of a frequency vector.
* **Cosine Similarity:** The `calculateSemanticSimilarity` function now computes the cosine similarity, a standard metric for comparing vectors.  It handles the case where either magnitude is zero to prevent division by zero errors.
* **Scoring and Ranking:**  The code now calculates similarity scores for each resume and stores them in a `Map`. It then prints these scores and ranks the resumes based on their scores using a stream and `sorted()`.  This demonstrates how to interpret and use the results.
* **Comments and Explanations:**  I've added comments to explain the purpose of each method and the key steps in the algorithm.  This makes the code much easier to understand.
* **Handles Edge Cases:** Checks for zero magnitude to avoid division by zero.
* **Clear Output:** The program prints the job post, the similarity scores for each resume, and the ranked resumes, making it easy to see the results.
* **Important Disclaimer:** The code includes a crucial comment acknowledging that a more sophisticated NLP library would be needed for real-world applications.  The simplified TF-IDF approach is suitable for demonstration purposes, but it has limitations.
* **Use of Standard Libraries:** The code utilizes standard Java libraries (e.g., `ArrayList`, `Arrays`, `HashMap`, `List`, `Map`, `Math`) for common tasks.
* **String Formatting for Output:** The `String.format("%.2f", entry.getValue())` is used for formatting the similarity scores to two decimal places, making the output more readable.

How to Run:

1.  **Save:** Save the code as `ResumeMatcher.java`.
2.  **Compile:** Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you saved the file. Compile the code using the command: `javac ResumeMatcher.java`
3.  **Run:** Execute the compiled code using the command: `java ResumeMatcher`

This will run the program and print the job post, resume scores, and ranked resumes to the console.  You can then modify the job post and resumes in the `main` method to experiment with different scenarios.
