The Apache Software Foundation

We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.

The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects, which provide software products for the public good.

The Apache projects are defined by collaborative consensus based processes, an open, pragmatic software license and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

The ASF is made up of nearly 150 top level projects which cover a wide range of technologies. Chances are if you are looking for a rewarding experience in Open Source, you are going to find it here.

• Apache Buildr

  Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools.

  We wanted something that's simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that's a joy to use.

• Apache Commons Primitives

  Commons Primitives

  Commons Primitives is a set of collection and utility classes for primitive types. The Java language has a clear distinction between Object and primitive types. A lot of functionality is provided for Object types, including the Java Collection Framework. Relatively little functionality is provided by the JDK for primitives. This package addresses this by providing a set of utility and collection classes for primitives.

• Apache Commons Configuration

  Common Configuration

  Library to use configuration/preferences of various sources and formats.
