What is JGrinder?

JGrinder is a framework for mapping Objects in Java to various persistent stores. These include relational databases, in memory 'storage', and flat files. The architecture allows additional persistent stores to be supported (such as storing objects over a messaging middleware).

New Release Strategy

Our single minded focus is to simplify using and getting started with JGrinder. Several immediate changes are evident:

• The ant build process has been tweaked to simply not build code if the dependent library does not exist.
• The source distribution is structured to allow the immediate build of the code once downloaded.
• Not ALL necessary jars will be included in the distribution. In fact, I've only dropped one and that was the J2EE jar (I probably didn't have the right to included anyways). You can always get it yourself if you need to build the code providing J2EE support.
• An ant-light is now a part of the source distribution. Just enough of ant to be able to bulid the source. You really should be using Ant and I provide this only to be complete.
