Package net.thevpc.nuts.boot Description

Nuts : Network Updatable Things Service (universal package manager) is a new Open Source Package Manager to help install packages and libraries for runtime execution.
nuts stands for Network Updatable Things Services tool. It's a Package Manager for (mainly) Java and non Java world. It helps discovering, downloading, assembling and executing remote artifacts (packages) in a very handy way.

Each managed artifact is also called a nuts which is a Network Updatable Thing Service . nuts artifacts are stored into repositories. A repository may be local for storing local nuts or remote for accessing remote artifacts (good examples are remote maven repositories). It may also be a proxy repository so that remote artifacts are fetched and cached locally to save network resources.

One manages a set of repositories called a workspace. Managed nuts (artifacts) have descriptors that depict dependencies between them. This dependency is seamlessly handled by nuts (tool) to resolve and download on-need dependencies over the wire.

nuts is a swiss army knife tool as it acts like (and supports) maven build tool to have an abstract view of the artifacts dependency and like zypper/apt-get/pip/npm package manager tools to install and uninstall artifacts allowing multiple versions of the very same artifact to be installed.

Although nuts focuses on java artifacts, it still supports, by design, native and all non java artifacts. Dependencies are fetched according to the current operating system type, distribution and hardware architectures.

nuts works either as standalone application or as java library to enable dynamic and dependency aware class loading and brings a rich toolset to provide a versatile portable command line tools such as nsh (a bash like shell), tomcat, derby ... wrapper tools to make it easier providing development , test and deployment reproducible environments.

With container concepts in mind, nuts is the perfect java application tool for Docker, CoreOs and other container engines.

COMMON VERBS:

• install,uninstall,update : install/uninstall/update an artifact (using its fetched/deployed installer)
• deploy, undeploy : manage artifacts on the local repositories
• fetch,push : download, upload to remote repositories
• search : search for existing/installable artifacts
• exec : execute an artifact (tool)
