After ending some J2EE applications, we realised that for every project we did :
- We created a new project directory structure.
- We wrote new Ant scripts.
- We installed and configured common tools like XDoclet or JUnitEE.
To sum up, we were reinventing the weel for each project !
We had the idea of creating a framework we could reuse in every project.
This framework would include :
- A simple and reusable project structure.
- A generic Ant script to do all the basic tasks of a project (like code generation, compilation, deployement...).
- Common open source tools like XDoclet or Struts.
With that framework, we could save time and have a common development model for all the developers.
Java Open Framework For Application Development is a generic development framework to facilitate, speed up, and normalize J2EE projects using JOnAS's J2EE application server.
It is composed of :
- Configuration files allowing you to easily setup your project.
- A normalized directory structure, easy to understand, efficient and reusable.
- A generic Ant script to do all the basic tasks of a project.
- Common open source tools like XDoclet, Struts or JunitEE.
What are the main benefits of JOFFAD ?
- Any developer starting a new project will not loose one second in creating a project structure, writing Ant task or installating common open source tools.
- Any developer joining a project will know where to find sources and how to compile, package and deploy the project in one second.
- All the developers will have a common way to organise their projects.
