AppFuse is an open source project and application that uses open source tools built on the Java platform to help you develop Web applications quickly and efficiently. It was originally developed to eliminate the ramp-up time found when building new web applications for customers. At its core, AppFuse is a project skeleton, similar to the one that's created by your IDE when you click through a wizard to create a new web project.
AppFuse 2 is a restructuring of AppFuse 1.x to use Maven, Java 5 and annotations. The major reasons we use Maven are:
- Dependency downloading
- Easier maintenance (everything can be compiled at once)
- Easier upgrading for end-users
If you'd like to help out or ask questions about AppFuse 2, please do so on the user mailing list. If you'd like to use AppFuse 2, see the demos and videos and use the QuickStart Guide to get started.
