# Apache Polygene™ (Java Edition)



> Composite Oriented Programming on the Java platform



[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0)

[![Build Status](https://builds.apache.org/buildStatus/icon?job=Polygene(JavaEdition)-develop-java8-checkDists)](https://builds.apache.org/view/P/view/Polygene/job/Polygene(JavaEdition)-develop-java8-checkDists/)



## What is Apache Polygene™



The short answer is that **Apache Polygene™** is a community based effort exploring Composite Oriented Programming for

domain centric application development. This includes evolved concepts from

[Aspect Oriented Programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming),

[Dependency Injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection)

and [Domain Driven Design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design).



**Composite Oriented Programming** allows developers to work with _fragments_, smaller than classes, and _compose_

fragments into larger _composites_ which acts like the regular objects. Apache Polygene™ also tackles the enforcement

of _application_ composition, i.e. composites are declared in _modules_, modules are contained in _layers_ and access

between layers are controlled/enforced.



**Apache Polygene™ (Java Edition)**, first Apache Polygene sub-project, is an implementation of Composite Oriented

Programming, using the standard Java platform, without the use of any pre-processors or new language elements.

Everything you know from Java still applies and you can leverage both your experience and toolkits to become more

productive with Composite Oriented Programming today.



The Apache Polygene™ community welcomes any effort exploring Composite Oriented Programming for domain centric

application development using any technology.

## Contributing



Polygene™ started in 2007, and is still in heavy development under the umbrella of

the Apache Polygene™ project at the Apache Software Foundation. We would like

developers around the world to participate in the advancement of this

cool, new and challenging technology. We are especially interested in

people willing to help improve the SDK, samples, tutorials, documentation

and other supporting material.
