| Welcome to the world of Qi4j |
| - Composite Oriented Programming on the Java platform. |
| |
| |
| This Qi4j SDK contains everything you need to create Qi4j applications. |
| |
| |
| Qi4j started in 2007, and is still in heavy development. We would like |
| developers around the world to participate in the advancement of this |
| cool, new and challenging technology. We are especially interested in |
| people willing to help improve the SDK, samples, tutorials, documentation |
| and other supporting material. |
| |
| Please see http://qi4j.org for more information. |

| Licensing |
| --------- |
| All Qi4j code is licensed under an Apache License. |
| |
| Third-Party Dependencies may be licensed under other terms. The only |
| required dependencies are SLF4J (MIT Licence), ASM (BSD Licence) and |
| Joda-Time (Apache Licence). |
| |
| |
| Dependencies not included |
| ------------------------- |
| The binary distributions contains Qi4j artifacts only to keep the download |
| size small. Each Qi4j artifact comes with a file prefixed ..-runtime-deps.txt |
| that contains the list of its dependencies. Moreover, at the SDK root you'll |
| find a Metalink file named qi4j-sdk-runtime-deps.metalink that you can use to |
| download all needed dependencies jars. Metalink files can be downloaded using |
| curl, aria2 and a lot of other download tools. Support in wget is coming. |
| |
| Finally, Qi4j TestSupport depends on JUnit 4.x and its dependencies, which |
| is also not included in the SDK itself, as it is present among most Java |
| developers. |
