FastPak for Java Developer Information

FastPak for Java is easy to use and easy to learn. FastPak has the capability of loading a host of modules your own developers create, thus FastPak can be customized for your own use with new GUIs, security interfaces, and network interfaces, to name a few. Full documentation may be downloaded from the Downloads section of this site. A brief overview of some of these highlights are contained below:

• Easy to use and understand API: A new GUI or other program can be created using the FastPak API library, which is included with every commercial release of the product. All a developer needs to do is create an instance of the API object and then make calls to it. This can be used to access FastPak instances remotely, or FastPak can be put into daemon mode and configured to auto launch the new module. This makes developing for FastPak extremely easy.

• Easy to Configure: Configuration of applications is easy. Most developers can get a full grasp of the process within 30 to 60 minutes of installing FastPak! The configuration files are simple properties files that the FastPak configuration tools embeds with comments making them easy to understand.

• Flat Application Loading: Unlike other application loaders, FastPak can load not only remote and local jar files, but it can load local "flat" applications, meaning a set of unjarred class files. This is useful for testing applications because single or multiple class files may simply be inserted in place without the need for a complete rebuild.
