fast coding with Java



Java projects have a very slow startup time. We need to configure many things, put our frameworks to work together, configure the dependencies and many other stuff.

Just imagine how much times you wanted to start a new project and gave up because you had so much things to download and configure?

Some script languages, like ruby and python, have a application generator, that make it easy to start coding with almost any configuration.

So why cant we do the same with Java? Why do we have to download every framework again and configure all the xml's files every time?

This is the main purpose of the Rocket Science project.

There you will find a basic project, featuring all you need to start coding right after you donwload the package.

This basic project features nice urls, page templates, inversion of control, json serialization and jquery with jquery UI.

Just unpack the ZIP file and import the project into eclipse, and you are done to start coding.

Soon we will release a pre-configured AppEngine/GWT project that works in the same way.
