Javolution is a real-time library aiming to make Java or Java-Like/C++ applications faster and more time predictable. Indeed, time-predictability can easily be ruined by the use of the standard library (lazy initialization, array resizing, etc.) which is not acceptable for safety-critical systems. The open source Javolution library addresses these concerns[1] for the Java platform and native applications. It provides numerous high-performance classes and utilities useful to non real-time applications as well. Such as:
- Algorithmic parallel computing support with concurrent contexts.[2]
- High performance implementation of standard Java packages (such as the javolution.util [3] package holding real-time java.util [4] collections implementations).
- Context[5] programming in order to achieve true separation of concerns (logging, performance, etc.).
- ValueType [6].
- Struct [7] and Union [8] base classes for direct interfacing with native applications.
- Real-Time StAX-like implementation (javolution.xml.stream [9]) (does not implement StAX-API, but resembles it, uses similar naming) which does not force object creation.
- XML marshalling/unmarshalling [10] working with existing Java classes and supporting references (including circular references).
- Simple yet powerful configuration management [11] for your application.
Since version 6.0, Javolution makes it easy to port any Java source code to C++ for Cross-platform native compilation. OSGi and JUnit have been ported and are included with the core C++ distribution.
All modules (Java and native) are built using maven.
