Explorer's Guide to Java Open Source Tools Michael P. Nash 2006 | 300 pages ISBN: |
DESCRIPTION
This guide to the major open source Java projects available today provides the information needed to determine how specific projects address programming needs. As it is uncommon for a single open source project to solve every problem programmers are shown the connectivity between projects with a focus on modern component and service-oriented design and the preservation of long-term flexibility and sustainability.Special attention is given to server-side Java with an emphasis on web application development. Projects reviewed are placed into functional categories, including supporting tools, frameworks and meta-frameworks, workflow, data mining, and analysis. The business realities of open source such as the licenses involved, the community behind a project, its leadership, and the availability of commercial support, are also discussed.
What’s Inside?
- Explore over 45 open source Java projects
- Select the right project for your development
- Understand the synergy between projects and how to use multiple projects in development
