JWare’s mission is to help software developers build serviceability into their source code and therefore into their client's products. Software that is serviceable helps create complete, robust solutions; software that is not helps create packaged failures-in-waiting.
We define serviceability as an assortment of other (*)abilities like testability, configurability, maintainability, manageability, and extensibility. Not all of these (*)abilities relate directly to source code. Full serviceability also depends on the software development process (as a whole) as well as other business processes and practices. The JWare projects address only the Java software components of a product. We give software developers more tools to improve the internal quality of their source code and make it fit for use in a production environment.
What is our overarching, master plan? Well at present it is to:
- Provide software and instruction that other software professionals use today, today+1, today+2, ..., today+20years. (And no, we do not mean software that must be maintained +20years from now!)
- Provide software that is fit for use in production settings from one off, single user custom solutions, to “ginormous” enterprise systems.
- Provide accessible software.
- Have fun. Learn something. Have fun. Learn more somethings. Have fun...you get the idea.
The Brief Brief History
Started in 1997 as a part of a personal Java library project, JWare/Libraries was extracted as an public open-source project in 2001. Soon that project was itself split into multiple independent projects (JWareLib, CI-Vault, etc.) and AntXtras was also included.
