Project ToyBox First Steps

Just submitted the Project ToyBox specifications for approval by Sourceforge.net.

1. Submitter: richardqr

2. Project UNIX Name: rtoybox

3. Project Descriptive Name: Project ToyBox

4. License: IBM Public License

5. Project Description: An all-purpose client and server-side Inversion of Control container for Java. This project aims to abstract different existing open-source projects into a simpler notation. It can be used both in a J2SE application as well as a core business framework for J2EE-based applications.

6. Registration Description: This project aims to simplify business service request and consumption through an easy to use Inversion of Control container, similar to the types of SpringFramework or some other J2EE-based frameworks. Everything will be Java-based.

The problem mainly with existing frameworks is the difficulty of using them, especially for newbies. The target audience of the proposed project will be small-scale academic or personal projects. If fortunate enough, the project could evolve into a full-blown industry-scale framework like Spring.

Hope this goes through. Its a make-or-break step. If broken, then will find some other way again to define the project better. If OKd, the only other aspect is time and resource. Wish me luck...
