The Java Virtual Shelf provides a set of packages for developping
applications in java.
Primarily these packages were meant to learn the language.
They may be read as examples of what can be done with the various
API coming with the JDK. But they were also designed to provide
basic functionnalities for real life applications.
The org is one of the Top Level Package. The others TLP
contain applications developped within this framework. Under
org 4 packages are found :
- ariane which in turn is divided in about 10 final packages.
This set contains the basic utilities used in the demos and applications.
It is the continuation of the work done on the
Ariane environment
since 1990.
- demo which consists of a bunch of small applications meant
to test the
ariane
packages.
- benchmark contains programs to get a idea of performances
realized with Java. Currently there is one program comparing
Java and C++
for numerical calculations.
- oodb which is devoted to the object-oriented database
systems. The main subpackages are bdms containing the classes
of the
Bridged Databases Management System and bdnet containing
the
Corba version of this BDMS.
The hep is another Top Level Package. It is meant to contain
applications for the High Energy Physics experiments.
The JVS offers also a set of
html pages proposing
a selected documentation about the Java computing.
