Components 4 Java is a framework that helps you to keep the overview of your code and organize it.
Like many approches it tries to fill the gap beetween the class level of object-oriented languages and the level of libraries by defining so called components.
A special feature of Components 4 Java is the ability to stick several components together to compositions even graphically and get larger pieces of code which interact with the other code in the same way like components and thus can be sticked together to even larger compositions.
Additionally you can distribute your components and compositions into libraries by specifying so called assemblies.
Components 4 Java will generate the glue code for you, build the code componentwise to ensure independency of the component implementations and package all together into Java archives.
