Announcing Cernunnos
Welcome to Cernunnos: an open source Java technology that helps Java professionals be more effective in their work. Cernunnos offers significant benefits in developer productivity, time to market, and level of quality in software solutions.
Here's how it works:
- You don't have to tell components, subsystems, or objects how to work together
- You just have to tell them to do so
- This simple difference reduces busywork and bulk dramatically
Cernunnos doesn't replace Spring, Apache Commons, Groovy, dom4j, or any other library or framework, but it does help technologies like these work together in your project. You can start by learning about the unique role that Cernunnos plays in software projects and how it makes Java components more pluggable.
Case Studies
These examples illustrate how Java professionals are using Cernunnos to solve their problems quickly and effectively.
